I would imagine the bore is probably big enough to jam a squirrel down though.

Thus, making it a "squirrel gun," seeing as potato guns launch potatoes. Said "squirrel gun" would be Far more entertaining too.

Sure it would be, I'd help them get revenge,,,,,,,,

Here is my newest addition. Don Bruton "Boone" style poorboy in a 40 cal. Rice 38 inch barrel. Chambers round faced english lock. Don did all the work an I just finished it with cold blue on the metal an a beeswax finish on the walnut stock

Wattlebuster nice rifle. Is that barrel swamped? If it is I have a new project in mind. Thanks for showing...Oldtravler

wattlebuster · « **Reply #633 on:** March 03, 2018, 08:39:28 PM »

Yes its 38 inch B weight Rice barrel.

I see nothing "poor" about that beauty at all! Lovely rifle. Happy for you sir. God Bless, Marc

Something about that rifle is 'catching' - very nice.

wattlebuster · « **Reply #636 on:** March 03, 2018, 09:58:13 PM »

Thanks guys. Its the same pattern as my deer rifle just a bit thinner an lighter due to the barrel profile. This pattern of Don's an the woodsrunner pattern have always drawn me too them.

That's something like my .40 tube with its 38" X "B" wgt Green Mountain barrel. Love those iron mounted Southern Appalachian poor boys.

wattlebuster · « **Reply #638 on:** March 03, 2018, 10:08:09 PM »

Hanshi although I have never had a green mountain barrel I would bet they are very similar

New to me 36 cal squirrel gun. The thing is older than me but shoots like a champ. Very happy with it thus far.

These are truly fine; keep 'em coming.

Kopfjaeger · « **Reply #641 on:** March 20, 2018, 08:50:35 AM »

.36 caliber Southern Poor Boy. I still regret selling this rifle 20 years ago.

Kopfjaeger · « **Reply #642 on:** March 20, 2018, 08:52:45 AM »

My .32 caliber Southern Rifle.

Kopfjaeger · « **Reply #643 on:** March 20, 2018, 08:55:19 AM »

My .32 caliber Dixie Tennessee Squirrel Rifle. Had this rifle a long time and it still shoots great.

Daryl · « **Reply #644 on:** March 20, 2018, 11:52:57 PM »

Nice - all.

Best I can tell is that many of the photos, mine included, have been "photobucketed" away. Couldn't find any others I might have posted so I'll try again. Nothing I have even remotely compares with what I've seen so far. But as long as they are accurate......

No longer have this little Crockett, a real jewel, but it emptied the squirrel woods for years.

#1 squirreller, .36 X 38" X 3/4" featherweight.

.40 X 38" "B" wgt GM barrel. Haven't used it for squirrels in the 12 or so years I've owned it.

Old and poor photo of a 3 year old rifle. .32 X 38" X "A" wgt ( I think) Rice transition barrel. Still working with it, actually.

Daryl · « **Reply #646 on:** March 22, 2018, 07:08:16 AM »

Hanshi - that middle long rifle is my favourite of the bunch, but any of the long rifles looks just fine. (.40 "B" weight)

hanshi · « **Reply #647 on:** March 22, 2018, 10:12:39 PM »

Daryl, that .40 has been used exclusively for targets and a couple of woods walks. It's accurate and the "B" weight barrel gives it a "substantial" feel. For my purposes it is too large for squirrels and too small for deer. But I can't rule anything out as far as the future uses are considered. It's the heaviest among my rifles excepting the .54.
