    GM replacement barrel for T/C

    I got a new Green Mtn drop in replacement barrel for my T/C. I had them cut a dovetail for a new primitive rear sight (moved it ahead a few inches). It has two screw holes for the factory sight that I plan to fill with two screws from the old T/C barrel then file flush. I suppose I should put...

    When and Why did you get started?

    bought a TC .50 Hawken kit in the mid-late 70's when I was around 25. Killed my first buck with it that year. I grew up watching Daniel Boon & Davy Crockett and Swamp Fox on TV. Always thought I was born 150 yrs too late. I am 58

    cleaning jag fit

    Just got a new .54 cal cleaning jag from TOTW for my GPR. I also got some (washed) white cotton flannel from JoAnn Fabric for cleaning patches. With one patch on the jag it is a real tight fit in the clean barrel. Is there a rule of thumb for how tight the jag should fit? I thought about...

    TC Trigger guard

    My T/C Hawken was a kit I put together in the late 1970's. While assembling it, I decided that I didn't like the curly part of the trigger guard that flips forward and I sawed it off and filed it smooth. I haven't missed it.

    New to ML, have a question (1st post)

    The more I think about it....I remember that 70 grains of 2f black powder was also a very accurate load with these two bullets. I also remember that 100 grains was the absolute maximum. This was a cheap rifle and NOT made for over 100 grains. I'd probably try these bullets at 70 grains of...

    New to ML, have a question (1st post)

    I owned one for a while (sold it 2 mo ago) Handy and light rifle. I had by far the best success with ffg Goex black. Poor ignition with Pyrodex or 777. I think my best loads were 80-90 gr ffg Goex with a 275 gr T/C Maxi Hunter or a 295 gr powerbelt. May print off a manual here...
