    School me on the .40 caliber

    .40 caliber rifle was in the mail today, all 9.6 pounds. I'm sorry to say the barrel o.d. has a couple of marks through the blue, other than that it looks pretty good. I've never browned a rifle, but this one is a prime candidate. I'll have to find a decent ramrod. Rifle came equipped with...

    School me on the .40 caliber

    I used to have a GM drop in fast twist for the TC Hawken flintlock. Rifle was very accurate, even with round balls with moderate charges. I don't think that any of those drop in GM are available now. Last time I looked they were "out of stock" everywhere. I know about the weight. Owner says...

    School me on the .40 caliber

    I have a TC Hawken with a Green Mountain .40 caliber barrel coming my way. I bought this rifle because?? I've never owned or shot a .40, but have owned TC Hawken flint rifles in both .45 & 50 for many years. If you have experience with the .40, particularly with the Green Mountain barrel, I...

    TC Lock Inlet

    I finally got time to field strip the TC percussion. The Maltese cross is on the bottom flat. I had to run a tap through the brass ramrod end-no threads present, but had been drilled to accept a tap. Weird. I did find a film caked on inside the barrel-maybe old WD-40? I used alcohol and a...

    TC Lock Inlet

    I just got home and found the "donor" rifle on my enclosed porch. I took a chance on this rifle, since all I saw was a picture showing mucho figure for small money. Well, the figure is there and then some! Condition is 99%. I'm thinking this is a very early rifle serial 16***. Stock is...

    TC Lock Inlet

    I found a gorgeous TC Hawken stock from a percussion model. The wood is by far the best I've ever seen on any factory muzzleloader. Question: Is there any problem with swapping lock and barrel from my TC Hawken flint rifle to the percussion model stock?

    Grandfather's TC Hawken hunt or keep nice?

    I have a couple of those TC rifles, a .45 & a .50, both purchased the first year PA had a primitive season, about 1976. Nice guns, with some problems. Factory sights are crude, lock geometry is only so-so and you will curse the frizzen before you are through. Frizzens are really soft and will...

    TC replacement trigger

    I need to replace the DS triggers on a older TC Hawken. I'd really like to have your input on who makes the best drop in unit?

    Pedersoli 32

    Neighbor showed me a .32 caliber Pedersoli rifle that he purchased back in the eighties from Dixon. he has asked me to sell it on Gunbroker. Rifle is immaculate with really nice wood. Its as close to 100 percent as anything I've ever seen. Anybody here have any idea where I should open the bid?

    Need advice about trigger-LONG WINDED!

    I took the rifle to Dixon's shop last Thursday. Unfortunately, they no longer do smithing, just too busy with the store. So, I'm back to square one with my problem child. Did manage to walk out with 2 pounds of Swiss, so it wasn't entirely a waste.

    Who made this stock?

    I was perusing a odds&ends barrel at a local gun shop and found a laminated wood stock. Stock has pistol grip and double wedge pins. 15/16" inlet and a L&R 900- English lock will fit with some work. Only laminate I know of was RMC and they were straight grip and single wedge. What did I buy...

    T\C Patchbox-Can I remove it?

    I got tired of the brass on my 40 year old TC Hawken. Had all of the brass "Black Iced". It is a black satin teflon. Looks good, (to my eyes), and wears well.

    Need advice about trigger-LONG WINDED!

    Thanks for the help. The replacement stock was purchased through the shop in Grove City, that is owned by the RMC people. They were not able to fit the stock for me. I will loosen the screws just a bit to see if that helps at all. The lock was cleaned with brake cleaner and a toothbrush then...

    Need advice about trigger-LONG WINDED!

    I have a RMC flintlock with 28" barrel, L&R lock, fitted with a single trigger. Trigger pull was always very good- (2 pounds) Stock is a laminate that cracked through the wrist two years ago. I repaired it, but never really trusted it. I finally found a new factory replacement stock, but now I...

    Peep Sight?

    TC made a folding tang sight with matching globe front years ago. They were making a tang sight called the hunter, but also stop making it several years back. I have one on my TC Hawken. last week, a Hunter peep sold on e-bay for $211.00! If you don't care about being pc, a Lyman 57 works...

    Triggger problem

    Thank you! The trigger does move freely, but I do need to remove more wood.

    Triggger problem

    I'm going to fool with this thing this evening, just for the practice. I finally found out what L&R lock is on the rifle. It is the L&R model 900 Late English lock. Tim, at L&R provided the info and says that I can make a set trigger work, but not with the original stock design. The stock I'm...

    Triggger problem

    Thanks for the advice. I don't think anything is binding with the lock inletting. Probably, the trigger position is wrong. 10 days until the PA flint hunt, so I'm going to set my problem child aside and hunt with my TC. Plan is to send the original stock to a duplicator and install double...

    Triggger problem

    I split the stock on my RMC flinter a couple of years ago. Laminated POS was really ugly anyhow, but rest of rifle is nice: L&R lock & Green Mountain barrel. Before stock split, trigger pull was exatly 2.5 pounds with no creep. Found a stock in local dealer's junk bin. It is pretty close...

    RMC Stock?

    I guess I need to explain some things. I really think the "lack of guts" remark was uncalled for. I use a sled because of four herniated cervical disks, not because it is a great shooting platform- a Sinclair rest and decent bags will give much better accuracy. I planned on using the RMC with a...
