I've often wished they would make it in a .36.

I've used that dark walnut in quite a bit of woodwork. Mostly pine. It looks really nice on there.

I was thinking the same thing 🤣. Looks pretty cool.

Got a picture of it?

The canoe gun is rifled so it is RB only. The .45 smoothbore only gets shot loads. A mix of 4 and 6 shot. Maybe with a little copper BB action thrown in for varmints.

I'm thinking about using my flintlock .45 canoe gun some for squirrels. Been a long time since I shot it but I'm thinking it was around 35-40 grains that it liked for such hunting. A .45 makes a fine squirrel gun.

Did you get your .45 patterned with small charges? Seems like I recall you saying it did better with bigger loads. That .62 tis a sweet looking gun.

Well, what ever you want to use it for, tis a fine looking pistol...

I've eaten some strange things by most people's standards all my life. But I avoid them because the carry leprosy. Sure don't want that...

I forgot to mention that Altoids tin. It isn't the standard size. Saw it years ago at the Walmart checkout and thought I would have a use for a tiny Altoids tin some day. So it's got some ball grease in it, some greased patches, and usually a dozen balls. A few less this time as the missing...

Thanks. I truly hope I can make that trip. Looks like quite a bit of interest from several guys here I'd like to meet. If I can't make it this year I hope you guys have a good enough time to do it again next year. Maybe life will be a bit more manageable by then. Besides, I've never killed a...

Don't know where the term came from. I guess they were long barrels large bore pistols as a backup to the rifle in case if bear attacks. The few that I have seen had 15-16 inch barrels, .50 or bigger, and nothing fancy. Just a big utility pistol. Almost like a short rifle with no shoulder stock...

That's a nice looking pistol. I don't have any historic reference to bear pistols but have seen a few over the years. Bear pistol is what the owners called them. They are similar to the one you pictured but has 4 or 5 more inches of barrel sticking out the end of the forearm. Similar to the...

Yep, that's why said I wouldn't be too worried about it. Soap is easy to come by or make and water is plentiful, at least where I would be. I'd be more worried about food water fire shelter. And avoiding the orange clad weekend warriors and others.

Good story. Thanks.

Sounds like something I need to wait for October to do...

If it were just me I'd gladly give it a shot. Wouldn't worry too much about the stink of others. My plan would be to totally avoid others. Here's a little story: in high school I had a buddy we'll call Larry. We graduated the same year and later, in about 1988, ol' Larry got his heart broken...

Where does one get a coffin nail?

Finally had a couple minutes to take a few pics. Don't know how they are gonna look but, if too dark, I'll try again in the morrow. This is my CVA .36 squirrel rifle. This is the one I've mentioned in the GunBroker discussions where I was outright lied to by the seller. Was allegedly built...

That's pretty funny there.
