My first squirrel rifle.

[ArtyGunner]

It was built for/or by A.J. Calder Sr. and was then passed on to his son(both names are engraved on the barrel). It's a .36 cal with a 40.5" barrel. I am still getting acquainted with it.

Beautiful rifle you have there. Please let us know how you do with it. Are you planning to hunt with it or just punch paper?

 

[Steve Wagner]

That is one nice rifle Arty ! I'd hunt anything with that just to be seen carrying it around.
Form and function in the right proportions = real beauty.
Any squirrel worth his salt will be proud to go into the pot for the sake of that kind of craftsmanship.
Congrats and enjoy. SW

I will use it to punch paper, the squirrels where I live are very small.

My first squirrel rifle was my grandfathers 36 cal Ohio Vincent flintlock, used it as long as he was alive. Unfortunately when he passed away, my brother was the one to get it and I have no idea where it went after he died. Probably to his son. Over the years I tried to talk him out of it to no avail. Sorry I have no pictures of it.

Great looking rifle you've got there!

Sorry I have no pictures of it.

This picture of one built by Don King looks a lot like it although it's a Hawken. Thanks for the picture @Dphar....

Dang what a beautiful weapon. My lust and covetousness are large. Needs ramrod and front sight reversed.
