Quote from: hoyt on February 07, 2011, 08:37:47 PMI've been hunting with this Old Virginia 20ga. flintlock I built about 10yrs ago. It had an open cylinder barrel and was limited to about 25yds. Since I only hunted public land it was hard to consistently call birds in under 25yds. Seemed like they wanted to hang up just a hair over 30yds. So after I killed a few with the Old Virginia I decided to build a Spring Gobbler Special. Had Colerain barrel company make me a 20ga. octagon to round barrel with their turkey choke in it. Goes from .62cal. (20ga.) to .58cal. right at the end of the barrel. I wanted to build a lightweight gun for my style of spring gobbler hunting so had them cut the barrel off to 34". Most traditional flintlock shotguns are 42" to 44" long. Anyway I finally got the gun finished and will hunt with it this yr in Illinois. My rear sight fell off while squirrel hunting and had to duct tape it on.. it's soldered now. This pattern is about 35yds. Colerain says this choke will kill them out to 50yds. I won't ever test it past 40.
