Looking for flintlock small game rifle
« on: February 13, 2005, 05:11:50 AM »
I have several caplock squirrel rifles in .32 and .40 (TC cherokee, Traditions crockett and TOW vincent)and would like to add a reasonably priced flinter to my collection. I have heard mostly bad about Traditions, some good and bad about pedersoli or blue ridge flinters and a custom cost more than a top of the line modern gun. Are there any other decent buys on a .32 or .36 flinlock. Thanks,ET

The Cherokee  and Crockett are both .32 caliber, the Caleb Vincent copy is a forty and won quite a few shoots.  I also have shot many other caplocks but I am not to familar with flintlocks.  This is not my first rodeo.  My forty has killed over 30 deer and about 50 feral hogs.  I do not understand your post or attitude as I was asking for the experiences of others on the forum.  If you have no experience that would be helpful then please do not answer my posts.

:D Wilded     I dont think Lostid was doing more than poking a little fun at you in the amount of smallbores that you have.  He likes to shoot a lot of stuff also.  I have the Pedersoli and several others of that nature in Flint and have not had any problems with them.  I really enjoy the little Ped in .32,and is very accurate woith 25 grns of Swisss....stay safe...King

Thanks, I let someone buy the pedersoli out from under me.  I am going to look at a halfstock of the Ohio style in flint but it is in .32 and I really want a fullstock .36 that is not a mile long.  If anyone has a fullstock ohio or vincent style flinter in .36 I might be interested.  Thanks again, ET :-)
