    New Seneca

    The 'spade' marking denotes a Sharon barrel. Sharon apparently made barrels for early Seneca's and Cherokee rifles as well as the Hawken. Douglas made barrels for T/C as well. Being an early model, your rifle should not say 'Seneca' on the barrel. Should just say THOMPSON/CENTER ARMS...

    Two Ruined Guns

    I would say far too common around here as well. People lose interest in many things, and BP guns, no different if not more. They require before and after care and attention, some folks just aren't into that. Too easy to just stand them in the corner and go for a soda. And then forget. I...

    It's only a reproduction gun......

    Nate, Great shooting, pictures, and beautiful fowler! Magpies, indeed vermin held in the lowest regard. They invade songbird nests, maim the frantic parents trying to protect it and kill the young. Young vulnerable birds leaving the nest for the first time provide magpies with great sport. I...

    Euroarms Kentuckian rifle question

    I dunno, if it was in my area I would buy it for that price. You could strip the gloss varnish off the stock. Check the crack then too. Maybe make a period looking wrist repair out of thin sheet. Refinish the stock with tung oil when ready, blacken the brass somtime, maybe brown the barrel...

    Dutch's system works!

    Just mail him a letter, with payment, and make sure you include your email address in it. I thought it was a book type shop manual when I ordered mine, and didn't think to include my email address. Anyway, its worth every penny Dutch asks. It's the life's work of a very intelligent man, who...

    Flash cones around nipple

    I have one on a TC Hawken. It's made from small brass bell. Does keep a lot of cap debris off the breech and stock. No problem to cap the nipple, there is room. I have only the one rifle so equipped. I do keep an eye out for small bells, sometimes I spot one or more at garage sales, but they...
