    SOLD T/C Hawken, .50 cal Thanks for looking.

    The bore is pristine, like new. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my bore light, so can’t get pics.

    SOLD T/C Hawken two barrel set

    Maybe I missed it, what are the calibers/bores of these barrels?

    I got a patch stuck in barrel

    I always drill a hole in my ramrods so I can insert a nail or a piece of welding rod to give me a handle to pull on when that happens.

    T/C 56 roundballloads?

    This from a previous post, a few years back. When I had mine, I loaded it with a .530 RB over 60 grains ffG, a Wonder Wad, and a tight denim patch. It was not easy to load, but it shot like a rifle at 50 yards. If I recall correctly,,groups were in the 1 1/4" range. (With rifle sights, of course)

    eezox or frog-lube

    I have heard rumors to the effect that Frog Lube and T/C Bore Butter are the same thing. Anyone else heard that? I really like Bore Butter, BTW.

    Green Mountain .58 barrel for TC Hawken

    Not a .58, but I put one of the .54 barrels on my T/C Hawken years ago, and it was a perfect drop in fit with no issues at all.

    Pedersoli Mortimer Flintlock

    I had one. It was a beautiful rifle, but as has been noted, very muzzle heavy. I had the barrel shortened on mine, and it was better. For $1300, though, it would have to be perfect.

    Temporary Rear Sight for Smoothbore

    Great idea! I have seen black ones, too.

    Cabelas Blue Ridge vs GPR Flintlock

    You might try the Cabela's a little south of you on I25. I'm pretty sure they carry the GPR as well as the Blue Ridge. Also, try the Blunderbuss in Thornton, I think it is. I haven't been there for years, but they are one of the few remaining BP shops in the area. I sure miss the Cache le...

    Cabelas Blue Ridge vs GPR Flintlock

    I have had two of the Pedersolis, a rifle and a carbine, both flinters. I would buy another without reservation, if I were in the market.

    Exotic projectiles?

    I have read more than once of the exploits of Sir Samuel Baker in Africa. Once he found himself with no bullets for his muzzleloading rifle and a down but not out animal that was bent on rearranging his anatomy. He pulled a handfull of sixpence coins from his pocket, loaded them, and proceeded...

    Lyman GPR flint size?

    I generally just measure the frizzen at the widest point and buy that size flint. A friend had one of those, you'll like that rifle.

    Additional help on Pedersoli Hawken

    Measure across the widest part of the frizzen, and use that size flint.

    56 cal TC w/rb's

    Stay with the thicker patch and go down in ball size. That may solve your problem.

    Flinter T/C conversion

    Thanks, ROKLOK. I'll check that out.

    Range report Pedersoli Kentucky

    That depends on so many variables that I really can't give you a specific number. Suffice it to say that you can refresh the edge on an English knapped flint (or a French amber), and you can't easily refresh a sawn flint. I'm not familiar with the German sawn flints, but I can't imagine they...

    Range report Pedersoli Kentucky

    When I was shooting flinters I experimented with the various types of flints, too. I had mediocre to poor results with the sawn flints, and couldn't tell much difference between the French amber and good ol' English black. Your results may vary, of course, but I wouldn't get too heavily invested...
