I have 4 and a half lbs I have "inherited” over the past few decades. Hell, even a pound of DuPont!

Always top shelf flinters for sale in the Contemporary Longrifle Assn. classified pages.

Figured you'd be set KW, and yes, i've lusted over those pages since you gave me the link moons ago, but, if we agree chevy makes a good pickup, i'd still need to buy you lunch and accompany me to the lot for the best year model of chevy truck to buy, Flinters, ie, Makers, Locks, Caliber, [i love 58] Barrel makes, twist, length, contour, swamped or not Frizzen hardness, proper flints to use, etc, etc.cool

I’ve had the hankering for something along the lines of a .58 cal (24 bore) Schimmel type Smoothrifle here lately. Big Queen Anne style lock. Around 7 lbs total weight. 44-46” barrel. Circa 1770-ish. Very basic.

Not that I need it or such.

Sounds nice, will a smooth bore get a man 60-80 good yards of hunting accuracy?

For most folks. 😁. I don’t know why I even would consider such a gun. I have three 20 ga. Smoothbores (62 cal) that fill the bill just fine. I’m leaning more toward buckshot capabilities with my less than stellar eyesight! 🤣🤣🤣!!!

FFF and FFFF have long arms and grab all the moisture it can! Good for a handgun maybe but IMO not needed for rifle!

I find if I “feather" my touch hole with say a mesquite thorn for the evening, I get pretty sure ignition over the several days of a hunt. Been doing this for years.

How would they know? Pay with cash and park around the corner.
