[roundball]

Do you have a good, close up photos? Bill

 

[R.Dorsett]

No I dont...and I dont have a digital camera or a scanner,but my sister may be able to help me with that.Do you want to give me your e-mail address,and I'll try to get you a picture.

 

[roundball]

No, don't go to that trouble...I have plenty of TC Hawkens and am mostly into flintlocks now anyway...just thought if you already had a photo, I'd look at it...might have turned out to be some sort of one of a kind TC Hawken

Sorry to expose my ignorance, but what is a QLA barrel?

 

[roundball]

In the mid-90's, TC introduced a design change in their standard barrels, removing the lands from the first inch of the muzzle, making it a "false muzzle", to ensure that a conical is perfectly aligned with the bore before seating it into the rifling with a shot starter, improving conical accuracy...they call it QLA for "Quick Load Accurizer"...It's of zero value using a round ball, and prevents you from being able thumb start a round ball...personally I think it's a waste of a good inch of rifling.

 

[R.Dorsett]

It's not a one of a kind,but a nice gun...if you change your mind let me know....im easy to deal with.

RB,
Thanks for the explanation. Since my poke and stroke shooting was limited to the late 70's and early 80's, I'm not up on all this newfangled stuff. My TC 50 is so old it doesn't even have "black powder only" stamped in the barrel, just TC, 50 caliber, and the serial number.
