Hatfield flintlock - anyone know about these?
« on: November 17, 2017, 11:15:32 PM »
Hi all, I picked up a 50 cal Hatfield flintlock on a whim because I thought it was a good price and may be worth more than the asking price. 


Does anyone know how to age these rifles?  I was told this one is likely really old due to the hexagon shaped ramrod.   :dunno:

How could I determine the value of the rifle?

Thanks in advance for any advice or information you may have.

Here you go, they were made in the late 1970's and 1980's, to some that is really old, to me not so old I remember thinking about buying one but went with a custom 54 cal flint southern mountain  by Jim Rugh.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska
