    Monongahela National Forest, WV

    Has anyone camped in this area? I've never been to WV and am wondering if you would recommend a site in this National Forest? Will be in a van and could use a dispersed site but would rather use a camp site, if available. Thanks!

    Best Nipple for T/C Pistol

    I'm getting ready to hit the buy button for a TOW nipple for my TC Patriot. Before I do, is their a different (better) design, or source, that I should be considering? I have "Hot-Shot" nipples in my rifles, but don't see anything like that for a pistol. This is the nipple I plan to buy from...

    Help with refinishing my muzzle crown

    Recently I was fortunate enough to acquire a muzzle loading pistol, a model that I have been admiring for some time. The gun is in great shape overall, however the barrel crown needs to be cleaned-up. I am not sure how this kind of damage could occur, but it looks like a little work should shape...

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

    Been away from BP for awhile while getting into other shooting endeavors. But I am back. Was at my LGS today picking up a new T/C Contender and while waiting decided to check out the BP guns. To my surprise, I saw a T/C Hawken Silver Elite on the rack in mint condition. Looks like it has never...

    C&B and NY State

    I just sold one of my C&B revolvers to a fellow member that happens to live in New York state. Does anyone know if their laws allow me to ship the revolver directly to his home address, or do I need to ship to a FFL? Thanks.

    Uberti Service Life

    What do you guys think the life is of a well maintained Uberti open top is? 5000 shots...More? Less? Are the BP models made of the same steel quality as the conversions? Thanks.

    Is this a good price for an 1851?

    I found a dealer that will sell me a new Uberti Cimarron 1851 Squareback for $278.61. Shipping is another $13. This sounds pretty good to me for a Cimarron but I wanted to check with you experts first. The best price on a non Cimmaron Uberti I have found so far is $260 + $15 shipping. FWIW...

    I would love to have a high resolution image of these instructions. Does anyone have a copy that they can email me?

    Origins of Squareback Trigger Guard

    Did they provide a function other than looks? Why were they discontinued in later models of the 1851 Navy (as an example)? Thanks!

    Brass Gripframes Weak?

    I like the looks of the Squareback 1851 Navy. The gripframe is brass though. Will that give me flexure problems over the years if I load only 0000 buckshot?

    Thompson Center Hawken Year of Manufacture

    Somewhere I thought we had a thread estimating T/C YOM based on serial numbers. I can't find it using the search function so I thought I'd ask you guys to see if you remember it. :hmm:

    Optimum Diameter For A Jag?

    What is the optimum under bore diameter for a jag? The reason I am asking is I bought a CVA .50 Cal Jag for my new Hawken, only to find out it is the same diameter jag I have for my .54 caliber rifle! :shocked2: I guess I have been using an undersized jag for my .54 for all these years...

    Wiping The Bore Between Shots

    I am very interested to hear how you guys swab your bores between shots. Do you have an extra rod solely for that purpose? Do you use a plastic brush first, followed with a cotton patch, or just a wet patch followed by a dry patch? Do you wipe the bore after every shot or after every x number of...

    Jim Bridger .58 Hawken

    Can any one tell me about the Jim Bridger Hawken available form TOW? The .58 it seems is a rather large gun with a barrel having 1 1/8" flats. I am sure it is a premium quality rifle but I was wondering if it can be loaded like the old Navy Arms Hurricane .58 Hawken. I believe that one was...

    CCI Magnums Caps, Send Them Back?

    My order of CCI Standard #11 percussion caps arrived today, or so I thought. The only problem is they sent #11 Magnum caps by mistake. :cursing: Is this something I need to correct and send back, or should I just count myself lucky? :hmm: I don't want them if they will adversely affect...

    Dressing Up A T/C Renegade

    I own and thoroughly enjoy the Renegade I built. But, I wonder if there are some things I can do the stock to make it look somewhat "Early Americana"? I’ve thought about a Hawken type butt plate, a forearm cap, things like that. And then, I could get a TOW replacement stock for it too. But...
