    Stuck ball

    Sorry guys, I did try and run a search before posting.. :( Today I experienced a fail-to-fire and have a tightly patched ball stuck in my new(used) Investarms Hawken .54 caplock. Tried what always worked before, edge a few grains of powder under the nipple and touch her off etc. But its...

    Price check please

    Good afternoon gents, (and gals) Here Ontario I've been offered a Euroarms Kentuckian caplock in .44cal for $250. It seems to be in excellent condition, however I was wondering if the price is a little steep for a discontinued rifle.. Any thoughts or opinions regarding price and/or quality...

    Powder question:

    Hi guys, I have a T/C Hawken flinter in .54 coming and I'm getting ready for her.. :) However I'm reading on different forums of people using "3f" to both prime and charge! I went on the Goex website and it says the .54 must only use 2f... Anyone else on here using 3f in .54, also as...

    Would you buy it?

    Hi Guys, A reputable gunshop up here in Ontario has an Investarms Hawken in .54 for sale priced at $149 canadian. Advertised as "Good" condition I called and asked "why the low price, whats wrong with it?" after a long pause while he had a look, the response was that the rifle is great- but the...

    Peepsight installation?

    Hi guys, Just picked up a new/unused T/C peepsight for my beloved Hawken.. She's just a regular factory smokepole, but she brings more to shooting/hunting than all of my centerfires ever could! I digress. :yakyak: Now, I know that I must drill and tap a thread into the tang- and I...

    T/C peep

    Hi guys, I'm the proud owner of a T/C Hawken, and thanks to the many good folks advice on this forum I've been able to find the perfect load combination to create some nice groups, even semi-respectable to 200 yards with PRB.. :grin: In an effort to improve however, I'd like to remove the...

    Caps!

    So here's a question- hope its not been asked on this forum before.. When the percussion fired rifle/musket was born way back when, how did the people of the time make caps? Perhaps a tiny folded piece of tin/cloth surrounding finely ground powder?.. Our #11 caps must be far more reliable in...

    New toy? Trajectory- .50 vs .54

    Hi Guys, Been successfully shooting (thanks to forum members input and help) a .50 T/C Hawken for 3 months now with PRB and ended up with the worst blackpowder bug ever!! :grin: I can buy a new assembled Lyman GPR at a very low price (last one in local store) but its only in .54 cal. So...

    What would you do?..

    I made a huge mistake in the local gunshop the other day, handled a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken... This monster was in .54 and balanced so perfectly! Felt like I could have held it level/aimed on target for days.. Trouble is, its over $1000 Canadian. So now my workhorse T/C Hawken in...

    Tight patch question

    Hi Guys, Hope someone can help me understand a patch related question. I recently bought a .50 T/C Hawken, cleaned the barrel- shot maybe fifty rounds over a couple weeks. This old girl seems to be very accurate, delivering 2" groups easily at 50 yards with .490 ball over .10thou ox-yoke...
