    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    We don't have greys or fox squirrels but we have no shortage of reds! My son sells the skins to a fur buyer at $5 a pop and the tails go to mepps. He's probably taken about 50 or 60 this year.

    SOLD Left Hand 58 cal. Flintlock Mountain Rifle $700

    How come you have to set the trigger to cock it? There are two pictures which show the rear sight and each one has a different style rear sight? Is this made from a kit? Thanks...................

    .62 smoothbore as an all around gun?

    I use a flintlock smoothbore 62 as an all around gun and so does my son. My sons smoothbore has a small rear sight which helps shorten the learning curve for shooting roundball but mine doesn't, it just took more practice.

    Smoothbore grouse
