    TC Lock Parts

    Picked up a .54 TC Renegade percussion rifle project recently. Barrel is in fine shape as is stock. Lock will not hold full cock. Took lock apart and part of the tumbler is broken off. See used ones online as well as a few places selling new ones for about same price. Anyone have a source they...

    Deal Breaker

    Today perusing the sidelock percussion/flintlock rifle section of a local LGS I spied a TC Pennsylvania Hunter in the rack. Decent condition but needed a good cleaning. Had the original octagon to round barrel which I believe was a straight octagon before being discontinued. I was starting to...

    TC Cherokee forend brass nosecap.

    Purchased this TC Cherokee .32 caliber rifle few months ago. Just recently I noticed that Cherokee's I see pics of do not have a brass forend cap. This cap is sheet brass and pinned to forend with brass pins. Barrel off wood looks normal. Did TC offer the Cherokee with the brass cap or is this...

    Endoscope Recommendation

    As I play with muzzle loaders more I am finding a want for a endoscope for looking inside the barrels. Lots of options out there from units that hooks to a smart phone all the way up to expensive units with built in viewers. Probably not something I will use a lot but think would be handy to...

    Replacing Vent Liner.

    I am working on a older Investarms flintlock rifle. At some point in its history someone replaced the vent liner with a homemade one. Looks like cut off screw with a hole drilled for the vent. Was not coned on the breech side just a drilled hole and not a very straight hole at that. Replacing...

    Working on a older Investarms flinter.

    Recently acquired a older Investarms Hawken style Flintlock that needed a bit of TLC. One of the stamps on the barrel is a AD which according to some listings would indicate a 1978 date of production. Bore is quite clean and bright. It appears someone has messed with this in the past. The breech...

    Investarms Model 130A Flintlock

    A local gun shop posted that they have a used 45 caliber flintlock rifle for sale so went today and checked it out. Turned out to be a Investarms. Looking online it appears to be a Model 130A Hawken style rifle. Bore is very good. Everything seems to work. Stock has some minor use marks but is a...

    Attach tip to ramrod.

    Purchased a 32 caliber TC Cherokee a week or so ago. The ramrod was missing the threaded tip. Non threaded tip is there and secured with a brass pin. No sign the missing tip was ever pinned which is probably why its not there. Ordered a replacement tip from TOTW which came today. Its a pretty...

    First 32 caliber.

    Found a pretty nice T.C. Cherokee in 32 caliber for what I considered a decent price. I have heard that the 32 caliber can be somewhat persnikity to load and shoot. Any loading and shooting tips will be appreciated. Pretty sure a range/cleaning rod will be a must as original is wood.

    T. C. Renegade flinter

    Stopped at a small gun shop today. Noticed a traditional muzzle loading rifle on the rack and asked to see it. Turned out to be a 54 caliber T.C. Renegade flintlock. Looked it over and was not surprised to find some corrosion around the pan and breech end of the barrel from lack of proper...

    TC Renegade Project.

    Picked up a TC Renegade as part of a package deal and it needs some help. Has a scope rail and cheap scope on it that looks terrible. Took scope and rail off and looks like 3 extra shallow drilled and tapped holes. Stock has some tight cracks in the lock area and opposite side where lock bolt...

    Stock forend warp.

    I received my Chambers left handed Isaac Haines kit last week. It's a 45 cal with a B weight Rice barrel which I received several weeks ago. Unpacked the kit Friday and noticed that the stock has a warp to the right out on the muzzle end of the forend. The woods a bit thicker on the right side...

    Drill Press

    Thinking of adding a drill press to my garage tools. Waiting on a Chambers kit and think a drill press while a luxury would be very nice to have. I know they come in bench and floor models and several sizes from 8 inch on up. Want a accurate machine that will not break the bank. What do you...

    Cleaning Cap & Ball Revolver

    I an curious about the cleaning process you guys use after shooting your cap & ball revolvers. I shot my Ruger Old Army today for the first time. After getting home I pulled the cylinder. Removed the nipples. Took off the wood grips. Then took a bucket of hot soapy water and put everything into...

    Shot my GPR yesterday!

    Back in the spring I purchased my first flintlock from a gun dealer who purchased it around 2001 for his private collection. Its a left handed Lyman GPR flint in 54 caliber and had never been fired until yesterday. Got it for $460.00 out the door in the box. Been reading here all about the care...

    I have a surplus to my needs left handed 54 cal TC Renegade barrel with some pitting issues. Been thinking about having it bored and rifled to a larger caliber. Any suggestions as to what caliber would be feasible and who would be able to do the work? Thanks!
