    Need an underlug

    I am building a drop in barrel for my Thompson Center Seneca and I need the wedge-pin underlug. Track of the Wolf told me they had one but they don't. Thompson no longer has these underlugs for that gun. Track has some "staples" they use but they look rather light duty compared to the factory...

    Bill Moody Barrel

    I was visiting with Bill Moody of Missouri this afternoon on the phone about building a barrel for me. Has anyone else here had a him build a barrel? How did it shoot for you? Know your target, Hank

    The kill zone??

    My experience with whitetails is that whether you use a high power rifle, bow or black powder a double lung shot with an exit wound is that you will find your game within 35 yards with a good bit of blood spray on the exit side out to ten feet usually. If only one lung is taken out, then double...

    The kill zone??

    Up north here the indians have a definition for the word "vegetarian". It's called "lousy hunter". Know your target. Hank

    The kill zone??

    Neck shots result in lost usable meat. Few people use the ribs on a deer for anything and it makes the largest reliable target on a deer. Know your target. Hank

    boring a .45 out to .50?

    Flaming canvas. Thank you. That's the kind of information I have been looking for. I'm not as "tapped in" to some of these things as many of the folks on this site are. Know your target. Hank

    boring a .45 out to .50?

    Keith: Thank you for your reply. I read that trick about cutting a hole in a large patch and then screwing the jag on over it somewhere else. Maybe you posted it. Also, your observation regarding not boring the 13/16 barrel out to a .50 caliber seems to be of the main consensus. I really...

    boring a .45 out to .50?

    To Flaming Canvass and Jim, I too have a concern regarding the thinness of the metal if I go to .50 cal. with that 13/16 barrel. Thank you for your input. Does anyone else have experience or ideas about that option? Jim, I think there are at least two sources of hooked breechplugs for the...

    boring a .45 out to .50?

    Greg: Thanks for your response. I really like the Seneca, just don't like the way it shoots. I'm not married to the idea of making it a .50 cal, it's only one option, maybe. I have talked to the GM folks on the telephone and they do not make and will not make a .45 fast twist in 13/16"...

    boring a .45 out to .50?

    Hi folks. I am a new member and have owned a Thompson Center Seneca for 24 years. I have never felt that it shot all that good and have tried another Seneca with similar results. Recently a gunsmith looked down the barrel and said the rifling looked quite shallow and the corners of the lands...

    Hello from Warroad, Mn

    Hi to all. I found your forum while trying to figure out how to make my gun shoot better but we'll leave that for later. As indicated on the subject line, I am from Warroad, Mn., just on the Canadian border. We are actually a little farther north here than International Falls is and west...
