    Types of T/C stocks?

    I'm looking to purchase a used T/C stock for my 42" GM .58 roundball barrel (1") and this led me to ask a question I always had. What are the real differences between all of T/C's traditional stocks? For example, is there a difference between the PA hunter and the New Englander, or the Renegade...

    Conical Range??

    What range should I expect when shooting conicals? I have a T/C Renegade .58 and have been shooting the 555 Maxiball. Started at 25 yrds on stix and got great results at 85gr ffg Goex. Moved back to 65 yards and onto a bench and wow, a clover leafed group grew to a seven inch group with more...

    555 grain Maxi-ball

    I have a T/C .58 cal barrel on my Renegade that was made in the custom shop. It shoots the 555 grain maxi-ball the best of all the conicals I've tried. Problem is, this bullet has been discontinued and according to the virtually helpless customer service at S&W/TC, they are not slated for...

    Custom builders in NE area

    Anyone have any suggestions of custom rifle builders in the New England area? I'd like to visit someone's shop and handle a few different styles. Looking for a functional piece for hunting, not a cute and peeeerrdy one!

    Very pleased with T/C

    Bought a used T/C Hawken as my first flintlock and after reading many..many posts, went to the range for a test run. I was moving the flint, adjusting the powder location in the pan, poking the charge in the touchhole etc, etc. Too many variables and you guessed, limited success. Sent the lock...

    T/C makeover

    Anyone ever converted a factory T/C halfstock to a fullstock? Did the gun balance ok? I found this stock listed in Track's cataloge. Looks like it might be ok for a first time project. I'm nervous as hell about screwing up...

    First range day with Flintlock

    Took the used T/C .50 cal Hawken to the range for my first flintlock session. Overall not a bad experience like I had been warned about. Dry patched the barrel then loaded her up with 75 grains of Goex 2f. Picked the touchhole then filled pan half full of Goex 4f with powder off to the...

    T/C front sight replacement

    I have a T/C .56 Renegade 1" barrel that I want to replace the front sight on. The current sight is thick and bulky. How do I get started? Here's what I want to replace it with...

    Long vs. Short barrel

    I just read in "The Gunsmith of Grenville County" that beyond 24 inches, accuracy is not really increased. I was surprised to learn that the longer barrels on early American firearms were more for aesthetics than for funtion. Could this be true? Why the heck would anyone want to lug around a...

    First Flintlock Suggestion

    Any make/model suggestions for a first time flintlock? The customs I looked at could take up to a year to make and I'd like something to familiarize myself with in the meantime. All of my T/C percussions have served me well although I notice some forum members aren't crazy about T/C's products...

    .58 GMB on full stock rifle?

    I have a 1" .58 GMB I bought to put on my .56 T/C Renegade (smoothbore). After mounting the barrel, the gun felt kind of unbalanced as the .56 barrel is 26" and the .58 is 32". Also, the .56 shoots pretty darn well and I'd like to leave it. Could I mount the .58 on another frame? If so, could I...

    Can't find it! rrrrrrrr

    Here's a dumbarse question. Over the last week and a half I was browsing the forums when I stumbled on a link someone posted for a guy who offers PRB accuracy tips. I clicked on the link and it seemed as if he was teaching a system for experimenting with different patch thicknesses, lubes, etc...
