Some say that the poorboy southern mountain rifle was the McCoy version. ET ::

My Ginsu is twenty something and still cutting, :)

It is a copy of the Hatfield mountian rifle carried in the Appalachian Mountains well into the 1900s. Made famous by the Hatfields and the McCoys.

OK guys I ordered one of the flintlock kits. If I like it I will be selling them at a discount price.

Shoot them inside 75 yards at the base of the ear and don't worry about it. Bullet placement makes up for caliber. I have killed a truck load of Texas feral hogs under 175 lbs with my forty and round ball.

Can anyone tell me of their experience with this rifle in flintlock form? It looks just like the old CVA mountain rifle. Is it really american made or just remarketed? ::

Hollow base down. I lube the wadcutter before loading. My daughter took several exotics and several hogs with 40 grains of 3F in her TC seneca. 30 grains of 3F will work also I just wanted her to have a clean kill. ET

Believe it or not a 38 special hollow base wadcutter works great and is very accurate.

If you come to Llano or Taylor Texas I will give you the name of the best BBQ places in the state. :results:

My forty has killed about 20 exotic cull does and a boatload of feral pigs. If I do my job it does just what it was made to do.

I love the forty and am still amazed by what it can do. I do not understand all those that are against using it for deer and hogs. They should study the bore size of most of the longhunters on the early frontier.

:: I already tried that 30 years ago. It didn't work.

I have killed a boat load of feral hogs in llano county with a Vincent half stock in forty caliber using a .395 ball and 50 grains of 3F. Base of the ear works great.

What make of gun is that? Thanks, Ed

I have found that making a sucking noise on the back of my finger which squeaks like a young squirrel in pain works great at getting squirrels to show themselves. My .32 crockett will drop them like a rock. Only problem is I now want to try a flinter. Dang this stuff is an addiction. Is there...

Does anyone make small caliber drop in barrels for the Lyman Great Plains Rifle?

Does anyone know when blacksmiths started using railroad spikes to forge tomahawks?
