Hello All

[keith44]

Just another newbie to the forum sayin Hi. I fired my first smokepole 31 years ago, a cap lock, so-called Hawken made by CVA. My current modest collection (all cap locks) is soon to grow by one. This one will be a flinter, as well it will be the smallest bore I've ever laid hands on. In a matter of weeks I will lay down hard earned green backs on the counter and recieve in return a "Pedersoli" "Frontier Rifle" in .32 cal. Nothing really special, but it will be three firsts in one, my first sub .50 caliber, my first flinter, and the first shallow groove ball shooter I have ever heard of. So I may be asking some really dumb questions, but I tend to be a fast learner so be kind if ya can.

Any way Hi to all glad to be here, looking forward to getting to know you.

Keith

Keith,
Welcome to the MLF,great to have you
onboard.The.32 is a great shooter as long as
you stay within its limits.Next you will want
a .40 or .45cal, but until then enjoy that .32.
Visit often and contribute when you can.

Welcome! You'll enjoy the .32. They are great small game rifles and just a hoot to shoot. The ML equivalent of a .22.

Greetings Keith,

.32 cal is great fun, especially in a flinter. Don't know where you live, but if you have squirrels in your area, I highly recommend hunting them with this particular gun. You will try to remember having more enjoyment. :hatsoff:

Squirlel hunting, rabbit sniping, and the occasional small varmint are the exact reasons for this purchase. Thanks for the reply.

...and remember, there no really dumb questions.

Remember the search features and the archived articles in the flintlock section.
