    Powder and mice?

    I can promise you, that a mouse can chew thru a Inch of wood no problem. They thrive on chewing wood.We live in the country,and you cant keep those field mice out of anything. And the poison bait they make these days is worthless.

    Another guy with double set trigger problems with a Lyman Great plains.

    Play with the triggers out of the gun,should give you a good idea on how they work. That back flat spring tension has a lot to do with the function of the lock.

    T/c trigger gaurd,

    I did mine the way scota4570 did his. Still a little spur left but not lopped off all the way.If you take it off all the way, the guard is square. If you don't care about looks just lop it off all the way. Track of the Wolf has some spur less trigger guards that will fit the TC Hawken,but I...

    T/c trigger gaurd,

    I hate them too.And hacking them off is easy,but they look downright ugly when done. Best bet is to get a Investarm Hawken trigger guard.They don't have the spur and usually fit the TC Hawken perfect.

    Got my barrel from Bobby Hoyt

    A reline is definitely more costly,and 150 for a rebore is reasonable. That's why I thought $250 for a rebore does not sound right.He is the absolute best at what he does.

    Green bore lights

    I think Green is best on the bobber lites. I have a rubber cap the I put over the light to tone down the brightness.

    Quick cure for a ~loose key on my T/C Renegade SB

    I just take some thin copper or aluminum and wrap the barrel lug on the bottom of the lug. It stays in place and kind of compresses when the wedge is driven in. Don't like bending the lug on my barrels that I swap around to different stocks cause they never line up.

    Ya, Graf's hasn't had any centerfire primers for 2 years,then when they get them they are some unknown country. I am from Northeast Iowa,and I can get primers if I want to pay $200 to 300 a thousand. Not gonna happen.

    CCI tools up for #11 caps in June

    Kinda makes you wonder how good of caps they are. They can be cheap,but they don't do you any good if the place doesn't have any.I have been buying my #11 caps at Wally world for years,mostly half price at the end of the year. Have 4 Walmarts in my area and none of them even got caps in this...
