When it rains TC's it pours!

Had a good day today. Got a 54 TC Hawken percussion off the gun sight that makes you broker. It showed up today. Looks really good on the outside, red on the inside. Started working on it and it is cleaning up nice. On Wednesday a guy I have bought from before got ahold of me to see if I would be interested in some TC Hawkens. Of course I said yes! Well he had 3 old flintlocks,.45, .50 and a .54! All in nice to very nice shape! I picked them up today after work. Now I have to figure out which one I like best!

That is a wonderment…now go out and buy a lottery ticket

Funny thing is I didn't even know they made a flint in 54.

I would love to run into a flinter.

I wish I had your dilemma!

 

[nkbj]

Keep looking for a .36!

 

[Loja man]

The second one from the top seems to have the nicest stock!

 

[Graybeard2A]

Kinda like #3 for the stock!

Right! Third up from the bottom!

Using those four in the photo, you could “mix-‘n-match” the parts to make a great looking rifle.
Then sell off the remaining three.

 

[Elkhorse]

Very nice.

Third from the top for the wood!!

 

[Graybeard2A]

BUT, I wouldn't turn down any of them!!!

Them there rock locks are making me drool - nice grab !

 

[deerstalkert]

WHY?

try them all out for reliability and accuracy. then decide which one you keep. me i'd keep them all, but then again i have always dreamed of having a Harem. never have been very smart!

Brings back memories of days gone bye…walk into a gun shop and see all muzzleloaders lined up in the racks.

Top is the 45, it's the one they actually shot a little. Second one down is the 50, very little use. Third down is the 54. It is a kit gun. It would really be nice if someone that knows what they are doing was to refinish it. Shot very little also. The outside of the cap lock is really nice on the outside and the bore is going to be "good" after a little more work. Lands are perfect, grooves need a little more work.
