    T/C Seneca Lock Disassembly

    Can anyone tell me how to disassemble a Seneca lock? Specifically how to remove the mainspring. The mainspring guide is attached to the tumbler so I can't figure it out. It isn't removed like a T/C hawken lock. Everything else looks pretty straight forward. I rather ask than remove the bolster...

    Do I need a chronograph?

    If you absolutely must know the velocity, you can determine this without a cronograph. Zero at 25 yards the most accurate load you have developed. Carefully shoot now at 100 yards. Note the drop that has occurred in the group at 100 yards. Go to a ballistic program and use 0.056 as the ballistic...

    .36 Seneca Loads

    Thanks to all for the load info. I've got the T/C load data also. I'll develop the most accurate load with both the round ball and maxi, and I don't expect it to be anywhere near a max load. From what info I've gotten, the rb load should be between 20-35 grains, and the maxi between 30-45. Just...

    Convertible?

    You can do this with the Pedersoli PA, Scout, and Kentucky rifles. First you buy the percussion model because it already has the drum installed and timed. Then you buy the replacement flintlock and a vent liner and you are in business. The replacement flintlock is available from a number of...

    .36 Seneca Loads

    Just bought a .36 Seneca and paid waaaaay to much for it, but had to have it. It won't show up for awhile, and I'm putting in an order with Track for necessary accessories. I have molds for both .311 round balls, and .36 maxi's, both from Lyman. I want to try wads under the maxi's and I don't...

    Diagnose My Problem

    It would be helpful to know exactly what kind of sights you are using. Your windage is fine with just over an inch dispersion. Your elevation is the problem. If its your sights, it's caused by how fine a bead you draw. Exposing more or less of the front sight causes groups like yours. It's...

    What exactly is "New" about T/C locks?

    I have some 70's T/C locks with the 3 screw bridle. Also others that are 2 screw and "newer". The flintlocks had the old color case hardened hammer and frizzen. Using the same lock plate and parts, these have been upgraded to the newer hammer and frizzen. Does this now make them equivalent to...

    Sight adjustment switching from maxi to round ball

    Went to the range last week with a recently acquired T/C Hawken 50 caliber flinter that I had been shooting with a 370 grain maxi and 80 grains of 3F. It was sighted in to print 2.5 inches high at 50 yards, which is just about dead on at 100. I wanted to sight it in with a tight patched round...

    Jakob Dickert rifle

    Sorry, I just realized that it is VERY impolite to use a foreign language that all probably won't understand. What I said was "I speak Russian, and have Cyrillc fonts!".

    Late Lancaster?

    I do not profess to know all or even that much about the history of the different schools of long rifle building. However, I do know what I like and am talking to a builder about probably the only custom made rifle I'll own before I'm history. I can be OK with a pinned trigger and guard, as I...

    How does one contact Brian Turner. Only thing I can find on the net is a shop that sells some of his rifles (Wayne Zurl)?

    T/C Hawken Stock Lock Mortice

    I've got a stock from a T/C Hawken cap lock rifle. If I get a current T/C flint lock, will the lock fit the lock mortice and be in the correct position for the liner on a flintlock barrel?

    T/C Flintlock Parts (Cockscrew)

    Sometime this week, all the new parts for my T/C flinter should show up. One thing I notice about the old hammer is that it does not center the jaws on the frizzen. If you center a flint in the jaws, the flint will significantly overhang the frizzen to the left. You can certainly move the...

    T/C Flintlock Parts (Cockscrew)

    Already have the new vent liner. Already use Fuller flints, but use 5/8 and they are wide enough. Have been using 90 grains of 3f behind the 370 grain maxi, and 70 grains of 3f behind a patched ball. Both shoot very well. I hunt in WI and PA, and it seems when I'm out with the flintlock the...

    T/C Flintlock Parts (Cockscrew)

    Well, I found a supplier (The Gun Works..Talk to Suzie)with T/C parts, and after much discussion, found out they had a combination of new and old parts in stock. Given the discription of the new hammer (less of an indentation around the hammer screw, and taller), and the top jaw (as you...

    T/C Flintlock Parts (Cockscrew)

    Had the cockscrew on my T/C flinter break during PA flintlock season this year (overtorqued it!). Made a replacement from a 12-24 bolt from the local hardware store. Got a new one from T/C after I got home, and all is well. I'm getting the new hammer, but I didn't know they also redesigned...
