.32 Caliber Flintlock

[dustinf]

Anyone know of a decent .32 caliber flintlock for under a $1,000? I found a couple online but I'm looking for some real world input.

So, you can shoot them at what, there? Just wanted to ask..
Things different there than here.

Small game. Here in PA muzzleloaders have to be .40 caliber or less for small game hunting.

It's really just for fun. I used an iron sighted .22 last year, and I'm looking to take another step back in technology.

He really just wants to chase Amish people around with it

check out mid-south shooters,,,they have a good muzzle load section and selection and fair prices too.

Small game? That sounds fun.
Here, .45 muzzy for deer, lope lion. Minimum .50 for elk, moose, sheep, goats, blackies.

Forget that. They stink too bad to get within muzzleloader range of them.

I think I saw one on Dixie Gun Works the other day. I think it was a Pedersoli.

Diving straight into a flint is hardcore. I hunted the NE muzzleloader deer season for years and really enjoyed it but I think I would flinch with a flintlock.

I've been hunting whitetails here with a .50 caliber flintlock for a few years. We have a primitive weapons season that starts after Christmas. It's a really fun time of year to spot and stalk deer with a flintlock.

For those that haven't tried this for whitetails, you are missing out!! I am not quite as hardcore though, I use an inline.

For the primitive weapon season it has to be a side lock, percussion or flint, with iron sights. Or any style archery equipment.

Also, it's the only season you can use your buck tag for doe. Great for freezer filling.

If they had that hunt in MN I would be tracking down a .50 cal sidelock as we speak. I would even do it in buckskin chaps if they made me!
