    Your favorite muzzleloader?

    I have a few, but my TC Silver elite is one I use the most. A real r.b. shooter for a 1-48 twist.

    T/C .50 CAL.

    I seen the picture before it was removed. I tried to post picture of a TC LOCK but I am blocked out on this computer (at work) But if someone has time they can look up TC lock and see the two screws numbered #50 that I tighten up and the hammer was TOOO tight and I had to loosen back up in order...

    T/C .50 CAL.

    All ok, I though maybe a bushing/spacer inside under the plate where the screws I tighten up. I just snugged screws and lock seem ok now. My TC lock looks a little different than pic. On line. Mine has a plate with two screws holding hammer. I'll try post pictures later. Got to get on tractor...

    T/C .50 CAL.

    Lock bolt bushing? All I did was clean lock then oil it and tightened it up. It was very loose, is the bushing around the screws? Or just a spacer between the two bird screws? I tighten the screws so tight that I had to loosen back up for hammer to work smooth. Think I am missing my bushing?

    T/C .50 CAL.

    My T/C .50 Cal. silver elite just started hanging up on half cock when firing at times. Not all the time just every once in a while. Is a part getting wore down? I have fired close to or over thousand rounds through this muzzleloader.

    Well, I can check that T/C BP rifle off my list now...

    I HAVE A SILVER ELITE AND I HAVE PUT OVER 2,000 ROUNDS OF 490 PATCHED ROUND BALLS THROUGH IT. It shoots round balls like it has a slow twist. Twist is 1-48. I just sold the cougar I had to a friend of mine. He did well. The elite cleans up easy with the SS Barrel.

    Are you telling me that someone can cut rifling into a smoothbore? I know the do it on new guns so they can most likely do it on these. What would something like that cost? Not that I am going to run out and have it done? :hmm:

    Springfield musket

    What size bullet? I don't make my own "Yet" Can you still buy the minne bullet like I have seen being used.

    Springfield musket

    Well I made a small mistake, I called the original owner and the 1861 Springfield smooth bore is a Armi-Sport. No matter I am happy with it. ;) so only three are ArmsSport and one Pedersoli.

    They are 58 s one looks as if riflings are shallow, my friend said he did lap the barrel..my bore light was about dead light not bright! Can't wait for better weather!

    The one .58 had barrel lapped would that make it look like the riflings shallow. ?

    Thanks for all the information. Well I did it...I picked all 4 of these guns. I have another question? One of the .58 cal. is a smooth bore, I don't know if it is a pedersoli or Armi sport? It's the 1861 rifle. I really don't care was just wondering. I was not sure if Pedersoli made a smooth...
