    Musket(?) & Back Action Lock Questions

    I am pretty sure the top lock came off a Belgian-made zulu shotgun. As I recall, the zulus were assembled at least partially using parts from obsolete military arms and were primarily intended for the African trade.

    Need a Little Help With Parts For a TC Cherokee

    Thanks TechMoron and kelljp for your suggestions. We will keep them in mind. Although it would be preferable to stay with brass, it is nice to know there are other drop-in options available. I will look into the possible Davis trigger replacement. This is a first gun for a youngster and the...

    Need a Little Help With Parts For a TC Cherokee

    Perhaps, but it would probably be easier to find and fit an old or repro guard for a fowler or other single-trigger muzzleloader. I think I will take a look at what Track has to offer. Also need to check my junk drawers. No problems - only solutions!

    Need a Little Help With Parts For a TC Cherokee

    Thanks for the replies. We will keep inletting double set triggers as plan B and I will call Gun Works. So far, we have addressed the trigger. Does the Cherokee share a trigger guard with any other model?

    Need a Little Help With Parts For a TC Cherokee

    Hi, I am helping a friend restore a .32 cal. TC Cherokee for his young grandson and need a little guidance. He picked the Cherokee up as part of a multi-gun purchase. As it stands, all the Cherokee parts, except the trigger assembly and trigger guard, are mounted in a horrid club of a maple...

    Rookie builder question

    Hi, Just read your post and thought I would throw my two cents worth in for what it is worth. The advice to file the bp down makes perfect sense to me - so long as the bp does not have an integral drum or snail. If it is a hawken style bp with a snail, I can see a potential problem. By...
