Out in the woods with the .20

**Plastikosmd** · 03-12-2021, 06:28 PM

Plenty of power, 10g 4f

**mooman76** · 03-12-2021, 06:48 PM

What do you shoot in it?

**Plastikosmd** · 03-12-2021, 07:04 PM

22 caliber pellet w bb in nose
Starts snug but loads easy, no patch

**koger** · 03-12-2021, 07:08 PM

That is just too cool in my book.

**Trapper-Jack** · 03-12-2021, 07:45 PM

I want one!!! Tell us more about it. What is the barrel? Is it an insert or is it cut at .22? What is the twist on the rifling? Now I've got my next project.

Are you sure you can stand the kick from that big boy? LOL

That is one mighty fine looking smoke pole and I bet it is great fun! Thanks for sharing and it looks like an enjoyable time spent in the woods!

The pellets for the Sheridan air rifle are .20

**Jedman** · 03-12-2021, 08:44 PM

Are you shooting it with black powder or smokeless ? My experience with small bore muzzleloaders shooting BP is that they foul very quickly.

4f. No issues w foulng. I generally shoot about 20x in an outing. The pellet skirt does a nice job of scraping.
It is smooth rifle (not rifled)
Plenty accurate to the 30y or so I shoot it at. The branch above was at 25y
Builder has passed
I tried .177 and 20. The 22 worked best

A .22 caliber black powder rifle.......here and I been looking for a .32 for hunting squirrels and such......that is just too cool..

**MrWolf** · 03-13-2021, 12:55 PM

That is impressive and not something I thought was around. Very nice.

**dverna** · 03-13-2021, 01:50 PM

Any idea of pellet weight and velocity?

**Hanshi** · 03-13-2021, 05:05 PM

I'd say that would be a specialty rifle and a fun proposition. Bear?

**zarrinvz24** · 03-13-2021, 05:11 PM

Is it a percussion rifle?

**Mk42gunner** · 03-13-2021, 08:02 PM

First picture shows a flintlock.

Which takes the most powder, the pan or the barrel?

**Plastikosmd** · 03-14-2021, 07:37 AM

Bit more in the barrel
Flinter, Barrel is about 44”, maybe 5/8” diameter. Very light, Points like a dream
