    WANTED TC lock, 1” tang, and set triggers

    Good evening crew! I managed to sell my Hawken and can now proceed with my Renegade project. I am on the hunt for a percussion lock, 1” tang, and set triggers from Thompson Center. I would also consider a complete stock if reasonable enough. Please let me know if anyone can help me out! Thank...

    SOLD FS/T Thompson Center Hawken 50 Cal

    I recently received a Thompson Center Hawken in a trade that is surplus to my needs. It is in good, used condition. I have not personally used this rifle. Noted flaws or non-stock features are as follows: - bore has a rough spot about the last 1”- 2” of the barrel (muzzle end). It is shallow...

    GM .40 cal RB Barrel

    I'm in need of some opinions about a potential purchase. I have the opportunity to pick up a 38" long Green Mountain drop-in barrel for my Renegade in .40 caliber. This is a slow-twist roundball barrel and I'm thinking it might be useful for a coyote hunt (.40 is too small to hunt whitetail...

    PRB Pistol Barrel Twist Rate

    I'm thinking about making a pistol using barrel stock to shoot PRB for deer hunting. The twist rate is 1:28 (for shooting plastic jacketed things out of rifles), and I need at least a 12" barrel in .50 cal to hunt with around here. Question is, can I use a 12"-14" piece of this 1:28 barrel and...

    Cutting patches at the muzzle...

    Can someone educate me on the proper way to cut patches at the muzzle for PRB? I'm assuming the ball is seated flush with the muzzle and then the patch is trimmed at that point. Is this correct? I'm thinking I may prefer to do this as seating the pre-cut patches don't always center the ball...

    CVA Mountain Rifle

    Anybody tell me the value of a CVA Mountain Rifle? Looks to be in good to excellent condition and probably a "Made in USA" model with a 4-screw patch box. Thanks, Anonym

    Thompson Center Replacement Stock

    I picked up an unknown .45 barrel a while back that fits into my Renegade stock. I think it's possibly an old GRRW barrel, but anyway, it's a pretty good shooter! It got me thinking that this barrel probably needs a more suitable place to reside other than in the gun cabinet until I decide...

    Best Source for RoundBall?

    Haven't quite got into the whole casting process yet, so I'm hunting for roundballs at a reasonable price that won't charge an arm and a leg to ship. Every place I find them reasonably priced, shipping is either $9 or $12.50. Anybody else have a source that can get them to me cheaper? Been...

    Barrel ID?

    Got a new barrel off of Gunbroker the other day as a Christmas present to myself. It was a cheap purchase since the seller had little to no information on it other than it was a .45 caliber barrel. After swapping some emails with the seller, I determined that it should fit into my T/C...

    Info for T/C Seneca .36

    Been wanting a "small bore" muzzleloader for target shooting, squirrel hunting, and possibly shooting a coyote, possum, crow, or coon from time to time. After debating on a .32 or a .36 caliber, I finally settled in on a Thompson Center Seneca in .36 caliber. I know these have been out of...

    Keeping the cap on the nipple ?

    I've always been paranoid about loosing a cap when at half or full cock, waiting for a shot. I was curious if anyone has used something like bore butter or something the consistency of vaseline on the outside of the nipple to help hold the cap in place? Seems this would also help keep moisture...

    Feedback on CVA Kentucky

    I had a guy offer me a good deal on a muzzleloader since he knows that I shoot them. Problem is, I've pretty much shot the same one over the past 15+ years, so my knowledge about other brands/models is minimal. The guy has what he's calling a "Spanish" Kentucky Long Rifle. Looks to be of the...

    "Antique Muzzleloader" - PLEASE HELP!

    So I found a guy semi-locally that has what he calls an "antique" muzzleloader for sale that needs work. I ask for pictures since it's just out of the way enough to stop by and look at it. I'm still trying to get more information, but the only picture he's sent me so far is rather curious...

    Need ID Help for recent find

    Just picked up another smokepole at what I thought was a steal. Seller only stated that it was a 50 cal, but didn't know the make/model. I recognized the T/C lock & trigger guard, and the obvious Green Mountain emblem on the barrel. My guess is an early Renegade, styled after the Hawkens but...

    Shot the CVA St Louis Hawken

    Just a follow up on an earlier post. I received the CVA St Louis Hawken the other day. It had seen better days, but it looked salvagable. The bonus was that the stock was indeed walnut. The serial number on the barrel has an "83" next to it, which I'm assuming is the manufactured year. My...

    CVA Percussion Hawkens...

    Hello all. I'm new to the forums but have been shooting muzzleloaders to hunt with since 13 years old (19 years ago). My first rifle was a CVA Hunter Hawken 50 cal. that shot roundball exceptionally well and took many deer. After being out of the country for a few years, I returned home to...
