I made this Ohio style gun for my daughter some years ago, .36.

Robby, that’s a little beauty! Fine work, your daughter must be proud every time she takes it out!

A real slender beauty, Robby.

Some really nice squirrel rifles.

MY latest squirrel rifle is a Kibler in .32, it came out nice.

Sure did Eric. Nice looking rifle!

Best regards, Skychief

Looks great Eric! Is that walnut?

hanshi · « **Reply #659 on:** May 13, 2018, 12:20:08 AM »

That rifle is awesome and I want one like it. THERE NOW!

Eric Krewson · « **Reply #660 on:** May 13, 2018, 03:32:02 AM »

It is walnut and darker that the picture would suggest.

Here's mine - a Tip Curtis Lancaster in .32, 36" straight Green Mountain barrel. It's my first muzzleloader. I got it yesterday, and fired it for the first time this morning. In the afternoon I took it to the field. We don't have much in the the way of tree squirrels where I live, but plenty of ground squirrels.

Cossak - Very nice rifle - make sure you clean her well.

.40 Cal Flintlock that I picked up this past spring. (Seller told me Jim Webb was the gunsmith that made it, but the barrel is unsigned. Doesn't bother me a bit. She is a beautiful, working rifle.
The target was 30 yds away, 1st two shots actually "keyholed" 3rd shot had a ever so slight hangfire, but still probably dropped the critter for the skillet.
Only used 25 gr FFF, that lonnnng 46" barrel makes the most of gas pressure!

This is a 36 cal GN barrel, 42".
Cherry stock from my friends tree.
Yet to claim a squirrel with it but I have it hitting pretty good now and should pile em' up this fall.
Gonna make a qt of pickeled squirrel hearts!

hanshi · « **Reply #665 on:** September 12, 2018, 12:02:53 AM »

Ah! New eye candy; love it.

rfd · « **Reply #666 on:** September 12, 2018, 01:55:28 AM »

She started out as a Jack Garner .36 but I had Bobby Hoyt make it into a much better .40 w/ radius groove rifling.

Daryl · « **Reply #667 on:** April 13, 2019, 11:37:14 PM »

Brought to the top.
Anyone build a squirrel rifle not here yet?

Greg Pennell · « **Reply #668 on:** April 14, 2019, 12:00:01 AM »

Here’s mine...it’s a .36x42” Green Mountain barrel, L&R Late English lock I got from Stoner Creek, and a set of Dennis’ Gillespie hardware. Nothin’ fancy, just a 7 pound nutcracker.

JP McCoy ..durs egg lock...Started off life as a .36 cal.....now is sporting a .45 cal Green Mountain barrel.

Nothing fancy Greg? She's a beauty. I am guessing you already figured out that those GM barrels are tack drivers and not fussy. I have a swamped GM .50 barrel set back in the safe until I rise to the top of my friend's "build list". God Bless, Marc

Greg Pennell · « **Reply #672 on:** April 14, 2019, 02:30:06 PM »

Thanks Marc. I’ve used a lot of Green Mountain barrels, mostly on my 19th century cartridge rifles, and I really like them. It’s a shame they don’t make the swamped muzzleloader barrels anymore. I have a 44” .50 swamped sitting in a corner, for “build after next”...but first, a 16 gauge fowler.

Greg

hanshi · « **Reply #673 on:** April 14, 2019, 11:21:16 PM »

GM barrels are accurate, that's for sure. I have a "C" weight .40 GM barreled rifle. A tad "weighty" but not all that bad since the swamp helps it balance so smoothly.

Pukka Bundook · « **Reply #674 on:** April 15, 2019, 04:36:26 PM »

By, but there are some bonny rifles in this thread!

All good work for that matter!
Some very gifted folks, here.
