A while back a buddy told me he was thinking about a flintlock squirrel gun, maybe in .32. I thought it was a pretty crazy idea, but have been warming up to it over time. 32 seems BIG for squirrels, but seems there aren't smaller muzzle loaders. Even my inline has a slow ignition at times. Hitting squirrels with a 22 seems mostly about timing. Might be a real challenge.
