Fusil de Chasse - French Tulle

This gun was introduced by the French during the fur trade era in the 1670’s. It was not originally intended to be a gun for trade to the Indians. It was available then to two classes of people. The working class or “D” model, or highly engraved “C” for the upper class or officers. The plain D is shown opposite in “aged” walnut. This was the French fur traders gun, the Voyageur. But it was soon clear that this high quality French gun would be the weapon the Indians would want because of its barrel length and increased accuracy. This stock is the large and heavy style of the fur trade era French Fusil de Chasse, also known as the Tulle. It features the extended wrist down low into the buttstock as it was on the originals with more drop than the common trade gun. We carry this stock in maple and walnut and have it inlet for several different octagon to round barrels and drilled for a 3/8" ramrod; and is not inlet for lock, triggers or cut for buttplate. Although it is pictured as a right-hand gun, it can be made left-hand by using any of the left-handed flintlocks that are of appropriate size. There is no cheeck piece on this stock. Specify barrel length and gauge when ordering. No lock or trigger inlets available.
