I have been looking at some muzzleloaders to enter this sport. I already collect C&R rifles, so I'm not new to used rifles, but I am new to blackpowder.
I found a used Mowry at a pawnshop. They want $349.00, before negotiations. I just found out this rifle sold as a kit for about that price.
I also have an opportunity to buy a T/C Hawken that has been fired maybe 15 times and cleaned well after. I can buy the T/C for $100.00. It has a small scratch on the walnut stock under the comb and a little brass needs to be polished.
I really would like a longrifle, like the Kentucky or Pennsylvania (I don't know enough to know what I want).
Is the Thompson too good of a deal to pass up?
Thanks,
Jim
