Ted Hatfield flintlock

[TimmyP]

Hello. I picked up a Ted Hatfield flintlock in 36cal. a few years ago for the "right price" you know? a fella needed some money and I had a few bucks in my pocket, SOLD. Finally got around to shootin it recently and now I can't put it down. When I go squirrel hunting I take my flintlock instead of my shotgun. Just hope I'm not dragging a collector piece through the woods. Looking forward to taking some woodchucks this spring and summer.

Dont know about collectability of it but just show her some TLC an it shouldnt make much difference. Just speaking for myself, I dont want a gun that I cant shoot UNLESS its a actual antique :thumbsup:

The Hatfield rifles are pretty well made rifles but not highly sought collector pieces. I have had two of them. the first one was a 50 cal. flintlock. I had a problem with it and sent it back and got a percussion in exchange. I later converted it to flint ignition and still use it today.I believe the more you shoot it the more you will enjoy it.
