Blanket guns were made from guns and parts salvaged from skirmishes. As barrels and stocks became damaged, they were cut shorter and shorter until they became more of a handheld gun than a fusil. These little weapons were called “Blanket Guns” because it was so easy to conceal them under blankets or robes especially if a shoulder sling was used. Guns just like these were used to capture Fort Michilimackinac with devastating results. They also make a great backup gun when you need more than one shot and a great companion to your NW Trade gun or Tulle. Very historically correct. Perfect for re-enactors.
The Sitting Fox Blanket Gun kit offers a faithful recreation of these unique weapons.
- Black Walnut stock shaped and inlet for the lock and the ram hole is drilled.
- The beavertails and tang area are also both relief carved.
- 10″x 1″ oct/rnd 20 ga. breeched barrel.
- The lock is also inlet for the L&R Trade Lock. This allows great versatility in styles.
- Trim is the large, bowed iron trigger guard and the cast Brass Sea Serpent side plate.
