WANTED Wanted-Hatfield squirrel rifle....

[GANGGREEN]

Just have a thing for the Hatfields and have it in my head that I need a flintlock squirrel rifle. I suppose I could live with percussion too, since the L&R replacement locks fit (I think). I have several guns that I'd consider trading for or on the Hatfield or might consider a cash deal (I can always sell them on the forum and use the proceeds to purchase what I want).

Sent you some pictures via email. Let me know if you don’t receive them. I’m not the best with a computer

I had one years ago and bought it when I visited the Hatfiield facility in MO. Nice rifle, but upon careful examination, I swear it was made by Pedersoli. Mine was a 36 cal and is a spitting image of the Pedersoli Frontier. No nose cap or patchbox. Hatfiield's name was engraved on the lockplate. I spoke to Ted Hatfield. Kinda slick guy.

 

[GANGGREEN]

Interesting and thanks for the info. If I'm not mistaken, Pedersoli took over the operation at a later date and continued to make the "Hatfield rifles" in the same configuration, but I think anything stamped Hatfield should have been made in America. I had a Cabelas Blue Ridge rifle once and it was clearly a later version of the same design and was made by Pedersoli.

FYI, I bought mine in the 80s.

The last Hatfields were made with Pedersoli parts IIRC?

I have one .36 Birds Eye Maple Stock Caplock but easy to swap to Flint.

So, how do you swap it to flint. If OP is not interested, I might be.

This is a Wanted advertisement. It is not a place to discuss changing percussion guns to flint guns.

I was a bit slow to see this, but I've sent a PM.

Yeah but this has to do with buying a rifle that didn't exactly fit what he was looking for. You could have said ...but it's pretty easy. You just unscrew the nipple plug and screw in a flashhole plug, and the lock switches with a couple of screws. You could have also provided resources to purchase them.

Mods get cranky when not enough ruger old armies come on to snipe I guess.

That is a nice rifle. A friend had one (.32 cal) in the 90's. I shot a woodchuck clear through the neck at 150 yards with it. I have the photo still!
