Looking at getting ahold of a squirrel rifle

[Grimord]

There is a Pedersoli Kentucky flint lock in .32 currently in the for sale forum.

I’d offer $650. Then I’d walk. Just me but the price is up to you. Don’t let your desire to own one put you in a bind. For $1200 I’d put a couple hundred dollars more with that price and get a SMR .32 from Kibler

I can second that. I have smr kibler in .32. I love it

I have a Dixie 32 mountain I might part with. It is a little heavy for my arms to raise anymore. LOL

Folks if you're going to offer a rifle or gun, either do it by PM or ..., put an ad in the classifieds.

I love the Kibler rifles in every way shape and form with one exception, they are just to long for my taste.

Lordy have mercy, for that price you had best run. They sold new around $290 back when they came out. For a touch more you can get a quality kit from Kibler

And today that $290 is worth about $1500.

I've killed lots more squirrels with the .32 than with the .36. I grew to prefer the .36 mostly because of the rifle rather than the caliber. Both those rifles are flintlocks with 38" barrels, though I've had flinters with longer barrels than that. I must agree with the others that ordering a Kibler kit would be the wise decision. I don't have a Kibler but would get one if I still hunted.

I know you prefer flintlock but the .40 cal Vincent in the classifieds would be a sweet squirrel rifle

I want to get a rifle for small game preferrably flintlock. That being said I see their are mainly two calibers people are using that being .32 and .36 caliber. Does anyone prefer one over the other ?
Local gunshop by me has a .32 Caliber Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Mountain Flintlock Rifle and a .36 caliber Green Mountain Flintlock barrel made for a Thompson Center Hawken (just the barrel and ramrod). I dont have a Thompson Center so I would have to get a stock, action and other various parts unless I just buy a flintlock Hawken Thompson Center rifle. Anyone got any opinions to share on which one would be better. The DGW TN rifle has a 41" barrel and the .36 is a 28" barrel.

i have a thompson center 36 cal never been fired, i had one long ago shooting squirrels and hogs,,sold it and wish i never did, came across one 2 years ago mint condition,,and never hunted with it,,lol

Buy yourself a Kibler kit in .32

The Dixie is going to carry better in the woods but that price seems a little high unless there's a lot of accoutrements that goes with it!

Unless it is a consignment gun, the gun store probably has less than $400 in the Dixie rifle. Gun stores typically pay almost nothing for used black powder guns because they are a very small niche market and the bores were almost never cleaned properly, and have pitting.
