hello,yesterday i went rabbit hunting with a buddy who brought along a smoothbore flintlock hand gun.we were shooting shot out of it .i have hunted with my beagles and usually use a tc 45/410 to give the bunnies a chance,i would like to find a flintlock or percussion cap smoothbore handgun.
can anyone attach a link or links where i can purchase one,as well as tell me what i actually am looking for,seems most sites are rifled barrels.
 
here is a link to yesterdays hunt,the rule was after three misses the guy with the shotgun could end the chase.
one problem we discovered was at 15 yards with six shot,whatever was held between two lugnuts,the charge patterned well but wouldnt even break through a empty pop can,we eventually placed a unpatched round ball over the powder and then the shot ,then the newspaper as a wad,the recoil improved alot and we were breaking water bottles at 15-20 yards,is that safe or whats a recommend ed charge that will put down a rabbit?

Nice Video!

Virtually every gun that the Middlesex Village Trading Company sells is a smoothbore.

And they sell a double barrel .62 smoothbore percussion pistol:

The Pedersoli Howdah 20 gauge double barrel percussion pistol is one of the highest quality smoothbores on the market but is considerably more expensive.
