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

    I just coned the barrel of my .32 Crockett. Those tiny balls and and my big fingers make loading, especially with gloves on was pretty impossible.

    Baker .40 cal 1/2 stock value

    Went back to the Antique Mall today to look at the C.Baker rifle again. Brought a bore light this time. Good bore, but rifling seems to have very little twist to it. But from what I can see it’s clean, nipple looks good also. I took a picture with a ruler over the muzzle, appears to be a .40...
