Bucket list item is done.
Flintlock is officially retired. Fork horn taken at 25 yds +/-. Round ball and 70gr of black powder. He was facing me and the ball entered upper chest where meets neck.
Destroyed wind pipe, left lung, liver, stomach, exited in front of left hind quarter.
This was rifle is legit. 46" hand made barrel, flintlock. Caliber is just over .45. No maker stamped or engraved anywhere on the rifle. Many of the parts are hand made. A regular guy rifle.
We believe it's origins go back to the 1700's. I have wanted to take 1 deer and I have. Now the rifle goes on the wall for the rest of it's existance.
