I have a few T/C New Englanders in percussion. A .50 and a .54. I am constantly looking out for a shotgun barrel but they are hard (and expensive) to come by.
I had a pretty bad experience with a .50 cal CVA flintlock and I gave it to my brother, pretty much to be an heirloom piece for him. (It's pretty)
Anyway, I would like to get a good flinter this time. I am impressed with the accuracy and build quality of my T/C New Englanders, I had a Hawken T/C in percussion but I traded it off or sold it or something.
I am thinking about trying to buy a Renegade or a T/C Hawken in Flint if I can find one. I'd probably buy a complete stock off of eBay and try to add a smoothbore barrel.
I know that user Roundball was a big T/C flint guy when I was active on her in 08 ish...
What is your opinion on this? Should I buy a T/C Flinter or should I try to buy/build a custom gun from Sitting Fox, TVM, etc?
The idea behind this is to get into a smooth bore flinter for $300-500.00 but I am not sure I can even do this with the T/C..
Thanks!
