Default Flintlock .36 Cal Squirrel Gun...

The Limb Bacon around here ~ have another gun to fear...

Added another smaller bore rifle to the Flintlock collection. This is in .36 caliber and was built by Jim Searles of J.P. Gunstocks. The stock is in a upgraded Tiger Maple, L&R Manton lock, Orion Barrel, and Hunter Star on cheekpiece. All the brass on the gun is engraved...

Charlie,

Need to take a little off the front sight. It's a capable gun. I'm expecting to work up a load for it that will keep em nice and tight. Gotta play with different patch thickness and ball sizes before the truth be told....then work with powders and wads to really see how she shoots.

With the few offhand shots that I made today...she's gonna be a fine gun. I expect she's been coned, as I can finger start a .350 ball with a thin patch.
