TC Big Boar 58 cal PDF owners' manual

[Basque1]

Does anyone have a copy of the TC Big Boar 58 cal owners' manual on a PDF format that would be willing to share?

While I have a Big Boar I do not have a specific owners manual for it.
Under the "How To " section on this forum is a PDF called Shooting Thompson/ Center Side Lock Black Powder Muzzleloading Firearms.
I know this covers suggested 58 cal. loads and general info on most of their sidelocks.
Hope this helps.

I stand corrected. This deals with the Hawken only and does not cover the 58. I believe my manual came from T/C.

Here is load data for the 58 cal from a TC manual when they were making 58s. Personally found in my Bobby Hoyt rebores that most of the fun was gone as you approached 100 grains of powder under a round ball. Imagine that the fun leaves even sooner under a 560 grain Maxi.

I called them a few years ago about the 58 and they couldn’t or wouldn’t help. Told me to use the Hawken manual they had online, but it only showed data for the 50. The Customer Service person at the time could only quote what was posted online.

Yes I called them too and they said that because of the fact that it was discontinued they had nothing, I find this a bit irresponsible on their part.

The "Shooting Thompson Center Sidelock Black Powder Guns" manual in PDF is available from Thompson Center.
They sent it to me twice, for my .54 Hawken ... and that worthless (to me) "Hawken" manual that only covers the .45 and .50 caliber Hawken rifles.

Present pdf version of the online T/C manual only covers the 50 caliber rifle. Info on black powder and Pyrodex is reasonably good.

Selling T/C to S&W was of no benefit to shooters.

Nor should it be. Business decisions are just that, business decisions.

As I said, the sale is of no benefit to SHOOTERS. I said nothing concerning business. Consumers are the end users of any product and should be considered in all business decisions. "Nor should it be"-you must be kidding.

Own a 1964 Willys jeep. Guess I should bash Chrysler for not supporting it with parts and documentation now that they own the Jeep brand.

Learn to read and comprehend. Nothing I said was about a BUSINESS, just an end user (SHOOTER).

Jeep owner/driver is not an end user same as TC owner?

Unfortunately businesses are bought and sold every day and the stockholders (aka, owners) are the stakeholders and the ones that should be and are considered in all business decisions.

Not sure how you can say ‘should be considered in all business decisions’ and ‘Nothing I said was about a BUSINESS’ in same breath????
