For small game, what do you prefer and why? I like the 32 in a flinter.

I use a forty cal or a 20 gauge smoothbore. Both flintlocks.

No, I don't own a chronograph. Never been curious about velocities on the muzzle loaders. I just work up the most accurate loads and consider that good.

My 20 ga Virginia smoothie on top. Grandson’s little 36 percussion and old son’s Tenn. .40 cal flint. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/g0Djw4VP/5597-B4-BF-3-BB1-49-DC-8-D23-84-FF6-F9-C6-A3-A.jpg) I got all the bushytails that morning. A rarity around those two!

Does it have a cheek piece? I have a very similar design "in iron" Same patch box, very similar carving around the mortis and stock.

If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

I’ve always wanted one of those neat little 32 caliber T/C Cherokee models.
