When they were there they were watching critters in the water about where the river enters the harbor. It's not a salt marsh or something like that, but a tide water enterance of the river into the bay. Along the bank close to them there was a beaver working. In the water close by were some ducks. All of a sudden one duck spread it's wings like it was going to fly, but it froze in that position. A beaver surfaced with the duck in it's mouth, swam to shore, let the dead duck go. The beaver climed out of the water, and the duck floated away totally ignored by either beaver on the bank. Has anyone on the list ever seen or heard of anything like this? I never have, and they saw the beaver out of the water and swear it had a flat beaver tail, and it wasn't an otter. Besides an otter would have enjoyed eating the duck I would think.

I bought it as a kit. It was too much kit for me, so paid a gunmaker friend of mine to put it in the white. I finished it from there. I have had it for nearly 10 years since I bought it as a kit. I had it in kit form for almost 3 years. It has been fired very little, but carried around quite a bit (canoe trips, horse trip). It has some dings, etc... but has been shot very little (50 rounds tops). I have since bought a Caywood trde gun, with rifle barrel to go with it. I'd like to sell the North Star Trade Gun I have. If you are interested, I could take some pics and send. Heck, If you just want to see it I could take some pics and send. I have a dig camera, so no real big deal. I'd like to get $800 for it. Let me know if you are interested, or just want to see it. I think it is a 36" barrel (i'd have to measure to be sure ) It is plum brown, no rear sight. It is right hand.

VERY THIN bluing, lots of wear at handling points after considerable carrying in the wood with sweaty hands. I don't care. I ordered a plain front sight, but got a NSW sight, shaped kinda like the a compass rose. I have, or can take additional pictures if you are interested. I truly love my NSW fusee, carried it throughout this last elk season, unsuccessfully, and would recommend NSW as a quality builder. more pics available on request.

My NSW kit came with a turtle front sight. I trimed it off to just a rectangle. I love my NSW trade gun!!!! It shoots straight, the lock never fails to fire. I cannot remember the last misfire I had with it. I love it more than any other gun I own. I didn't have too much trouble with the kit. I would highly recommend North Star West!! And one more great thing about them. They are now made in Montana! bb > Hello List: Can anyone tell me if the barells of the North Star > Trade Guns are blued or browned on their completed rifles? > I searched their site and it just doesn't say.
