Recently a close friend of mine was given an old fusil. It is a 24 gauge. In the early to mid 18th fur trade 24 and 20 gauge fusils were most popular. This fusil has sling attachments such as those fusils used by military officers, it also has a barrel band which I don't think were common on later fusils.
The butt stock on this gun was too large for my friend to use, so he has cut and reshaped the stock to fit himself.
The original stock.
The stock after reshaping.
Note the sling attachment just in front of the trigger guard. The large trigger guard is reminiscent of the early trade fusils.
