    CVA .54 Hawken for the record books

    How did your CVA 54 shoot for you after you got it finished? Sounds like even tho you had to buy a barrel you still got ya a nice leadflinger.

    50cal T/C Hawken

    Barrel has cleaned up well. I used the advice of using the copper scrub pad and I'm pleased with the outcome. Hopefully get to shoot it several shots and will give a report on how she groups out. Thanks for taking the time to lend your advice.

    50cal T/C Hawken

    I make it a point to not shoot any of my guns BP or center fire unless I have time to go straight to the bench when I'm finished. I work away from home and can be gone for months at a time, and don't want to take the chance of leaving any of them dirty.

    50cal T/C Hawken

    When I got it home I made sure the bore was empty with the ramrod and then stepped out back and shot it. Then I stripped it down and refinished the wood and the finish on the barrel. My process for cleaning is a bucket of hot soapy water, swabbing until clean, and then fresh water, drying, and...

    50cal T/C Hawken

    I'm not really experienced in BP. I've shot BP pistols for the past year. I just bought this rifle and shot 4 round ball shots through it and then cleaned it. It didn't feel right from the get go. But after buying that light I could see the problem. Then I checked my pistols with the light and...

    50cal T/C Hawken

    Well I guess I know what fouling looks like now. I spent most of the day ramming a brush in and out of the barrel. Soaked it last night with kroil oil, and then soaked it about 2 hrs with hoppes black powder # 9 and then after cleaning that out thorough I soak it about a hour with Butch's bore...

    50cal T/C Hawken

    About a 1/3 of the way up from the breech it almost looks like it chewed up in there. I only shot it at 25 yards due to limited space and I was very pleased. Considering I wasn't experimenting with any loads and it was freehand. I'm not experienced with muzzleloader a very much but when...

    50cal T/C Hawken

    This is my first post so I hope I'm doing it correct. Recently bought me a tc Hawken 50cal. Was tickled to death to have a rifle. Anyway I shot it a couple of shots and then stripped it down and refinished it. Cleaned and cleaned on the bore but still didn't feel right compared to my pistols. I...
