Another Flinter "On the Heap."

[Adam Helmer]

Lots of great responses from many Longhunters;keep them coming.

GOB,

I think you may be able to find a used ML for less than $550 at some local gun shop or at a yard sale. I would suggest a .45 caliber as a minimum for your first ML flinter; loaded down with ball you can take small game and with maxis, you can hunt deer. Once you do that, the .50 and .54 calibers flinters will just come into your battery, all natural like.

Swift,

Glad to hear you got your own flinter. What caliber did you get? We have 20 inches of snow here that should have been on the ground in late December. A few years ago we had a deep snow and I hunted deer with my .54 flinter in the woods on snowshoes. It was a nostalgic hunt and I never saw another Longhunter afield.

Mr. 16 gauge,

What sorta flinter you looking for? If I see one in nice shape, I will send you a PM. My brother, Gil Martin, has more shops down state to shop and maybe he can be of assist, as well. We got to get you properly attired with a flinter.
