    Need A Tang Peep For TC New Englander

    Sorry. I'm technologically challenged with the photo business. It is a rather simple tang mounted low profile sight originally marketed by T/C. They are often available used at inflated prices on various auction sites.

    Ron. Looks like the Lyman suits you just fine. Beautiful animals!

    Need A Tang Peep For TC New Englander

    I use the Lyman sight on a modified T/C Hawken for target shooting. It works well for that purpose although the aperture has to be shimmed for stability. The profile is pretty high for hunting use. When hunting I use a T/C peep.

    Pecatonica River Half Stock

    The Pecatonica Hawken replacement solved multiple issues for me. I can shoot with more erect shooting posture (neck injuries). No longer slaps cheek from bench. Easier on shoulder with full loads (added a little length). New life for an old rifle/shooter!

    Navy arms hunter

    I think you are describing the "Buffalo Hunter". I had one in the 70's/80's. Great hunting rifle. Performed well with light or heavy loads. I also changed the sights on mine. Peep sights always work better for me. Hope you enjoy your rifle as much as I did mine.

    Plugged Fire Channel

    It is plugged between shots. You may have identified the problem. I wipe with a pretty tight patch jag combo. I will try a smaller jag.

    Plugged Fire Channel

    Thanks. Think I'll try the FFF first. The current nipple hole is already pretty large (probably couple of thousand shots on it). If that doesn't solve problem will change cleaning solution.

    Plugged Fire Channel

    I also clean thoroughly with pipe cleaner. It is becoming fouled after shooting.

    Plugged Fire Channel

    Does anyone have advice for preventing plugged fire channel in .50 cal. T/C Hawken percussion rifle? Have to pull nipple frequently and prime with powder to get it to fire. Seventy grains real black 2F. Patched roundball lubed with mink oil or Dutch's formula. I swab between shots with damp...
