I shoot a 36 cal. Southern Mountain flintlock with 20 grs. of Fffg.  Works wonders on squirrels and other small game.

TomHargrove,

That is one pretty little underhammer!  I take it that is one of Bruce Linefelters?  Do you have a valid email address for him?  I tried the one he shows on his website but it didn't go through.

I built a truly small PEA shooter a while back. It was made out of a Brass
Benjamin Franklin air rifle barrel. Threaded the nipple directly into the end of the barrel
making it a Micro-Inline ! Have no pictures of that one but when I finish the one I am working on
now, I will post them It was .177 caliber. I am also working on a .32 caliber match lock
but inletting the stock is proving difficult in the wood I chose. Black walnut and It came from a 150 year old barn. I am trying to keep the old saw mill cuts in tact (they look kinda' neat.)
But as seasoned as this wood is, it is like working Granite ! I also have A .32 Crocket I bought from Graybeard and a .31 caliber "Baby Dragoon revolver.

tomhargrove--  yours looks like mine's twin brother.  Same load works good for me too.  Rust browned it and made an aperture sight to replace original.  I sure would like to get a .50 cal barrel for it.  Anyone got any ideas where to look?  I've lost Bruce L's email.
