    Which round ball for T/C Seneca .36

    .375 ball will work fine in your TC Seneca. You just need to prepare them by melting them down and running the lead through a .350 ball mold.😉

    Pedersoli Tryon 50 cal

    I recently purchased a 50 Calibre Tryon Rifle which presented very well. When I tried to look into the bore with a Thill bore light I couldn’t see anything. When I got it home and started to clean it the bore was filthy. The previous owner claimed he had cleaned it but patches came out dark...

    Those T/C Small Bores

    I have a Seneca .36 with a spare .45 cal barrel. Over the years I have acquired a mini ball mold, a new old stock TC tool and peep sight for the Seneca. At short to medium range with 40gr of 3fg and a patched round ball it is deadly accurate. I will never part with it.

    Cleaning

    Every time cleaned in bp solvent scrubbed on the outside with a small brush inside with dental plixters then a dab of copper based grease before replacement.

    30 Year Old Black Powder

    A friend gave me 2 tins of goex 3fg powder in identical tins to yours the tins were marked 1958 on the bottom. It shot beautifully in my TC Patriot and Seneca. I wish I had more

    Removal of stuck patch and hardware

    I use a steel and brass range rod for loading,it has a flat end and if I try to use it for cleaning the flat end jams in the patent breech on my TC Seneca so I use the ramrod to clean as it has a more egg shaped end.
