    In search of a foraging gun

    I'm looking for help on my next purchase. I've long been into the idea of hunting small game with a muzzleloader but I'm stuck on what I should spend my hard earned money on. Additionally, I'm unsure if a flintlock or percussion would suit me better. Smoothbore is a must, but other than that I...

    WITHDRAWN Looking for a larger smooth bore flintlock

    Howdy all, I was wondering if any of you might have a custom built smoothbore. Looking for a 20 gauge .62 or larger preferably. But not opposed to .54 and up either. For Turkey and goose hunting. Thank you in advance.

    A Few Words About Smoothbores.

    In the 18th century smoothbores did NOT use a patched ball, the ball was loaded in the same way as using shot, with wads or wadding. An Essay On Shooting 1789.
