My deer is in Outdoor Life.
Hey Buddy Your skill rising to the top, Ron. Looks like a GPR traditional flinter with a few extra sighting do dads on it. Looks like a .50 cal? Beauty. You build it? I had to take a GPR .50 cal kit in a deal to finally get rid if my last T/C flinter. I'd be nice to know I could actaully make...- Finnwolf

Will a flintlock stop a bear?
I'll admit that living in PA, I probably will never brush up with a grizzly, lot's of good size black bear, but no grizzly. Do I believe the tales of Davy Crocket and other long hunters killing grizzlies, yes I do. But it is very difficult for me to believe that 6 armed gunman, who can shoot...- Finnwolf

Stupid Question- Old vs New
In my opinion, the flint guns made before 1900 had at least the expectation of securing the owner & his family's safety and also of providing food for his table. If I had to rely on any of the 3 T/C's flinters I've owned since 1985 to do either, I would not be here to answer any question. If I...- Finnwolf

T/C Hawken
I ordered the gun from a local T/C dealer. The PA Hunter had just come out in the market and few dealers had one in stock. Some did have a brochure. I wanted the PA hunter because it had a standard 1:66" twist bbl 32" long, it was stripped of all that shiney brass and the trim was blued...- Finnwolf

T/C Hawken
You would wite off any company that sold you defective products 3 out of 3 times - at least I hope you would. These rifles were bought used (1st hawken I bought cheap from a buddy). He had replaced the sights with those from a Rem 700, only way he could hit anything. He had a tight spot in the...- Finnwolf

T/C Hawken
MSW, Wasn't 1 T/C rifle that caused me all these frustrations - it was the only 3 T/C flint rifles I owned over 15-20 years that experienced all these and other problems. I sent these rifles in to T/C 4 different times, they often came back with new parts that performed poorly. I was told that...- Finnwolf

Shiney Colt Walker
To promote his new designs, the entrepreneurial Samuel Colt often manufactured small numbers of presentation quality revolvers distinguished by ornate finishes and engravings. These were ceremoniously presented to high ranking military officers to enhance Colt's reputation...and promote his... -

T/C Hawken
Hope to God you don't get one like the one that cured me of T/C flinters for all time... UPS ding - 200 mile trip with less than adequate packing.... "Beautiful figured" American black walnut... "Precision craftmanship" in the metal-to-metal fit... probably why the gun went off on the...- Finnwolf

Proper way to mount a lock
Hi All, Sanity check here. Until recently, all MLs I owned were T/C - one lock bolt. Recently got a Haines with a large siler - 2 bolts. I always just snugged up the T/C locks with a screwdriver so naturally, I do the same with the siler. I'm hoping a member who is a lock expert might post a...- Finnwolf

t/c lock old vs new
I won't go there, I'll just thank you for your advice. I tried everything suggested on this and other forums and everything I could read for years. I had flash in the pans, I had fail to flash, I had swish boom slow ignition and I had just plain no ignition. I used english flints, french...- Finnwolf

t/c lock old vs new
About a year and a half ago, I had high hopes that the new T/C lock would put an end to 15 years of inconsistent ignition problems. Turned out that with no rhyme or reason, the pan would not ignite the main charge on the first shot sometimes. 2nd or 3rd time the gun would fire, but not the...- Finnwolf

Musketoon smoothbore connects
Good shooting and a great photo. The game, the gun, the woods and the dog all in one photo - only missing the shooter. Your dog - looks like a Brittany spaniel, right? I've had springers for 25 years - they look similar from some angles. They point, not flush game, correct? Thanks Finnwolf- Finnwolf
