My favorite squirrel shooter is a .30 caliber flintlock rifle I've had for many years. It is a very slim, almost delicate little gun, absolutely ideal for the job. Because it eats so little powder even when "heavily" loaded, I bought a small powder horn to go with it. I carry it on a separate strap, along with a simple pigskin single-pocket pouch, and it is perfect in the kit.
It's only 8 1/2" around the curve, 1 1/2" in diameter at the butt, but could hold far more than enough powder for a long, busy hunt. Walnut butt plug and stopper, wooden pegs. Someone did a nice job of folk-style scrimshaw on it, and I've enjoyed using it over the years.
