How about adding a blunderbuss to the mix? :hmm: :winking:

 

[TN.Frank]

I don't really have a need for a short barrel flintlock long arm, that's where the pistols come into play. Just wanted to cover all the bases as far as hunting and such are reguarded. Of course a 26" Blanket gun in 75cal might come in handy while camping out.

 

[musketman]

Perhaps a flint double barrel shotgun... :grin:

 

[davy]

Well shucks .. ya aint got one of these yet! What gives? :hmm: :rotf:

[Uncle Jed]

am I missing something?

What about some oddities? Weird flinty things like this here'n powder tester.

Or howbouts a duckfoot? Wee-doggies that would be a show stopper, why Granny could kilt four different kinds of vittles in one shot with that.

 

[davy]

Weee doggy!!! :hatsoff:

[Swampman]

:hmm: What !.............you haven't got a cannon?.............Everybody needs a cannon! :rotf: :rotf:

 

[Leonredbeard]

[Stumpkiller]

Other nice additions:

A full-length First Model Bess and a Charleville

A 20 or 24 gauge Northwest trade gun

A Jäger rifle

 

And at least 3 or 4 Hawkens of various calibers and ignition systems

 

[Stumpkiller]

I guess if you run out of desireable reproductions you could add a few originals.

We could ask Squire Robin for a catalogue list of his flintlocks.

Four bores, eight bores, doubles. How cool would it be to go grouse hunting with an original Manton flinter?

Currently I own only one flintlock. Makes the decision easy when heading out to shoot. :rotf: I'm faithful once married. :haha: I do need a smoothbore for birds, though. Percussion just ain't the same. :winking:

 

[CrackStock]

So Stump, you are saying that you are married, and now want to keep company with a hussy? :rotf:

(Sorry, could not resist. I have one woman and many guns, which is why I have kept the same woman all of these years! Got my priorities in line -- oops, can I say that here!)

[Tommy Bruce]

I think that's an admirable start. Here's a list of my stuff an what I'd like to have.
what I have:
Pedersoli brown bess .75 cal
Virginia fowler .62 cal
Virginia smoothrifle .62 cal
JP Beck .50 cal (in the white)
Early Pa rifle .50 cal (in the white)

what I want
A copy of the John Schriet rifle .58 or .62 cal
A french fusil de chasse in 58 cal
A smoothbore pistol in .58 cal

I think that will bout cover it for me.

 

[TN.Frank]

The guy backed out of the musket deal so I'm back to looking for a smooth bore. So at the present time, after I get the Pedersoli Frontier from Rebel later this week I'll have:

Austin n' Halleck flint Mt.Rifle,50cal,32"
Poorboy 40cal,43.5"
Frontier rifle 50cal,39"

So what I need is a good smooth bore, at least one flint pistol and a nicely finished 40cal rifle, probably a Virgina style with iron hardware and a 40-42" bbl.

Talk to ya'll in a bit. :thumbsup:

 

[trent/OH]

You have a gaping hole there: No squirel rifle! Maybe a .32 or .36 longrifle for treerats, 'coon, possum, groundhogs, etc.

So when do you need them? :grin:

 

[TN.Frank]

I think the 40cal with a light load will work ok for "tree rats" and small stuff plus it's still legal for deer here in Tennessee, that's why I like that caliber.
As for "how soon do I need them", as soon as my wife let's me get em',LOL.
No, really, I was going to save back a bit from every other check in April for the Smooth bore that I thought I had a deal on. Since that fell thru I'm looking again. If anyone has a nice smoothy that's been well cared for, 62cal or larger, 36" bbl or longer(up to 44", don't really want anything longer.) shoot me a PM or e-mail with some pics. I'm in the market.
