    ball stuck in barrel

    Thanks for all the tips. I put 10 grains behind the nipple and shot at the ditch 10 yards away, it went bang and now the barrel is cleared.

    ball stuck in barrel

    I have a 50 caliber Hawken style rifle that has a ball lodged in the barrel. I had loaded it for a deer hunt, but did not get a shot that weekend, and went the following week. when I shot it the percussion cap went off, and there was a small flash from the nipple but the main charge did not go...

    Inletting a Buttplate

    I have bought a replacement stock for my TC Hawkin flintlock, everything on the stock is pre-inletted except for the buttplate. Does anyone know where I can get a template for cutting this? I am no expert at woodworking and not sure if I have the tools I need except a coping saw and dremel. At...

    Kentucky rifle-Galef and Sons

    I was looking at a .50 percussion long rifle the other day, it was like a Kentucky rifle, it was marked Galef and Sons on the barrel near the breechplug. Does anyone have any info? Otherwise, it looked like everything was hand fitted and stained, the barrel was plum brown, not blued, it was...

    Galen and sons

    I was looking at a. 50 percussion long rifle, like a Kentucky, it was marked Galen and Sons on the barrel near the breechplug. Does anyone have any info? Otherwise, it looked like everything was hand fitted and stained, definitely not a repo from CVA or Traditions.

    .50 smoothbore barrel

    I have a 39.5" 50 caliber smoothbore barrel I wanted to build a Pennsylvania long rifle, it has a threaded hole near the breech end of the barrel where I assumed the flash hole would be. This is a 3/8-16 threaded hole and I cannot find a vent or touchhole liner that is threaded for that...

    lookin to buy another Hawken

    I am lookin to buy another Hawken, I found a TC Hawken in .45 for $300, seriously thinking I might just buy it. I have a .50 Hawken, mine is marked Investarms Italy. Bottomline, will a .45 take down a deer at 100 yds?

    T/C to the rescue

    just got the .45 barrel for my Hawken back from Thompson Center Repair shop, they removed the cleaning brush from the bore, and evidently it was covered under their lifetime warranty. Suprised me, most warranties don't cover acts of stupidity. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER use a sectional cleaning...

    did something stupid, please help

    I sent the barrel back to Thompson Center since they offer a lifetime warranty, but not sure if acts of stupidity are covered.

    did something stupid, please help

    i might try that, sounds like a good idea. I was also thinking about some 36" round steel rod, like 1/16", bend a hook in the end, it would be stiffer tan using a coathanger
  16. B

    did something stupid, please help

    I used that rod because it was close at hand rather than digging though hunting gear to find the cleaning brushes for the ramrod, which is what I should have done. Those aluminum rods are ok for .22s and hunting rifles, but I knew better to use it on a muzzleloader but did out of laziness

    did something stupid, please help

    I usually use the ramrod from my CVA inline as a cleaning rod, I grabbed this one because it was handy. What a cheap POS these Outers and Hoppe's kits are
  18. B

    did something stupid, please help

    I had a brass cleaning brush on the end of the rod, and the rod broke, not became uncrewed. I was wondering if I would be able to shoot it out, would the brass cleaning brush have a tight enough seal

    removing T/c breech plug

    I was thinking about trying to blow it out but wondered if it would work. The other issue is this is a .45 TC Hawken barrel and it looked like the barrel and breechplug was one piece, but I may be mistaken about that.

    removing T/c breech plug

    I have a broken cleaning rod with borebrush stuck in my .45 flint barrel, how do you suggest I get that out?
