cheap flintlock?
 

:bash:Where can i find a cheap flintlock.100$-200$.Looking for a 32 or 50cal. anything powerfull enough to easly take deer.

well that counts the .32 out.

traditions makes the kentucky which runs around $300. I have one and its a darn good rifle.

Check out gunbroker

Jump it up to $300 and get the .54 flint trade rifle from Lyman's site here - http://www.lymanproducts.com/store/page191.html Then you will have yourself a lifetime fun gun and deer killer.

You want a lesson in frustration???

Buy a cheap flintlock...

A decent lock will easily run $150...

No such thing as a cheap flintlock.

The cheap ones are more head ache then fun.

That Lyman Trade Rifle is a good flintlock. I have one. It is a meat taker and a good shooter. It will not let you down. nchawkeye hit it right on the head with the cheap flintlock idea.

probolem is the season in kentucky ios otwo days,and im not going to invest that much into it.I just think they are cool and chalinging

Put that two-day season out of your mind. What's important is the amount of fun you will have shooting a flintlock year round. You might even find yourself using the flinter during the ten-day regular gun season.

You can't master the skills it takes to learn how to make a flintlock reliable in 2 days...

You think that way until the fever hits you after your first shooting session :biggrin: you will find yourself wanting to shoot it more and more.trying different loads and bullets.then it will hit you hard, that your addicted :confused:

The triumph's pulling duty for this years rifle season. why i am testing the 300 gr GD/DC's out, in case that long shot comes along! Ray

I was kind of wondering about that myself. Was he saying the season starts in two days or it is only 2 days long?

As has been mentioned flintlocks are challenging weapons to learn how to shoot accurately and reliably. And honestly $200 won't really get you started. There are a lot of needed accessories that come with shooting a flintlock: powder flasks, flints, special tools such as a knapping hammer, vent pick and pan brush and you will want a mainspring vise as well for cleaning your lock. And that does not even begin to address projectiles, patches and powders.

Learning to shoot a flintlock well enough to hunt with takes time. But it is also a lot of fun.

shop around the local sporting goods stores. you might be able to get decent on at a fair price. CVA, T/C, Lyman.
Like the other boys said - a cheapie with give you too many problems.
