WTB 45 Flinter
« on: November 20, 2024, 07:33:08 PM »
Hey y’all! First post here, so it’s fitting that it’s one to get me equipped.

I’ve been shooting some cap guns these past 2 years, but the itch for a flintlock has grown to be too much lately. So, I’m looking to get a decent deal on a flintlock 45 (the wife wants to shoot, but the 50 and 54 I have are a bit much for her). Gunbroker has been wild as of late, so I thought I’d check here.

The criteria are:
-Pennsylvania/Kentucky/Southern Mountain rifle style
-32” barrel at least, would like 35+
-Good condition is a plus, however, I just want a good shooter
-I would like to keep it between $500-1200

Whatever I end up with is going to end up in the deer woods, so I don’t want a safe queen.
Lemme know what ya got!

Most of my flinters are 40 and smaller, or 50 and larger.

If your wife turns out to be left handed, I have just what she needs.

Hello, I have a 45 I guess you could call Pennsylvania style that has been probably shot 20 times.  It was a Pecatonica kit I believe.  Anyway, I am not really into shipping so where are you located?  Face to face would be great.  I live in Owego NY.  I would want a firm $800.

Fortunately, the wife is “correct” handed. No southpaws here.

That’s a bummer, I’m in Central, MT. Buddy of mine has a Pecatonica under hammer he loves. Good rifles.
