One of the earliest guns bartered during the fur trade era, French traders offered their Type'C' fusil. Notice the pretty baroque floral finial at the top of the comb. This buttplate casting captures the deeply engraved decoration of the original. The Type 'C' fusil used a triggerguard with a matching finial. The lug or boss under the front comb accepts a retaining pin instead of a mounting screw. Two un-plated iron screws should be used to mount the buttplate. This buttplate will also work well on French or English fowling guns or decorated Jaeger rifles. See our French fusil parts set pages for a complete list of our parts for building your French Type 'C' trade gun.
