    Tribute

    Pictured here is a .45 TC Cherokee that I assembled from a kit 38 years ago. I harvested a couple of deer and coyotes with it before selling it to my best friend and hunting buddy John.

    TC Cherokee Returns Home

    38 years ago I spent 40 hours putting together and finishing a TC Cherokee from a kit. I hadn’t been into black powder very long at that time. I shot a couple of Iowa Whitetails and a coyote with it and then sold it to my best friend and hunting companion. He shot several deer with it over the...

    Parts for Ruger Old Army?

    My sons first weekend with flinter

    My son came to the farm this past weekend and we were able to do a little hunting, fishing, and shooting. Just a great time! He wanted to shoot a flintlock so I pulled out my favorite flinter and we had a great time. I treasure these times.......... Greg

    SOLD Thompson Center Cherokee Barrel

    Up for sale is a factory TC Cherokee .45 cal barrel. I took this off a Seneca that I had recently purchased. The barrel looks to be in nice shape inside and out and will come with its ramrod as well. I believe the under rib had to be modified to fit the Seneca and it fit very nicely. $199 plus...
