New from MI

[Tweek]

Howdy all, newbie to the site and to muzzleloading from Michigan.

My one and only (so far) is a T/C Hawken caplock .45 I picked up used a few weeks ago. Thought I'd finally give it a try. Figured for the hundred bucks I paid for it, I wouldn't be out much if I didn't like it.

Well let me say, I own several rifles, handguns, and scatterguns, but I can't say I've ever had as much fun shooting a new gun as I have with this one. What is it about these things? Methinks I'm addicted.

Howdy Tweek. Welcome aboard! :hatsoff:

They are definately addictive. Like you, I shoot many different kinds of guns, but my muzzleloaders are by far my favorites.

For those who won't get the humor -- youpers are from the upper peninsula of MI. Those in the lower peninsula are the trolls since they live "under the bridge", Mackinaw bridge that is.

Hey thanks all for the warm welcome.

No.4shot, West MI, Holland area.

The rifle isn't perfect, and looks like it was assembled from a kit, but after much shaping and complete refinishing of the stock and brass, it's looking much nicer. Bore does have some rust near the muzzle, but the rifling is still decent all the way out, and I think it shoots acceptably for what I paid.

I have some questions about it I'll post in the appropriate section soon.

Again, thanks all for the welcome!
