TC White Mountain Carbine

My confusion as to which gun we talkin' about with two different ones bein' bandied about. Definitely sounds like your gun is 1 in 20 twist because TC never made a 1 in 14 twist. LOL.

My earlier comment pertained to the White Mountain/Hawken hybrid at Track of the Wolf.

Sorry, I'm the thread starter and was asking about my TC White Mountain with it's original barrel.

Hahahahaha. I know. My feeble mind got side-tracked with talk of the hybrid Hawken/White Mountain.

Yes! I went back & looked again & it is a White Mountain Carbine retro fitted with a 28" TC Hawken barrel. Still would make a nice hunting rifle for those wanting sling swivels, a recoil pad, & modern sights.

The older you get the more you’ll like those modifications

Nice little rifles. The first muzzleloader I got when I started shooting them again in 2002. I found a brand new .54 at a local sporting goods store that I bought for $159. As others have said, the .54's had a 1:48 twist and the .50's had a faster twist, 1:20 or 1:32. Mine served me well for a couple of years before I sold it and moved on to other rifles. They are very lightweight and carry well. I managed to get within 30 feet of this little buck the first year I hunted with it.

Nice, that's what I'm hoping to use it for. Now that I've got some supplies I just need to find time to take it to the range and figure it out!
