What do I have?
I just looked at everything again and “Warranted” and the elephant are the only markings on the lock. And the proof marks on the barrel are what is in my picture. The bore measures between.60 - .65”. The barrel is very thin and has been slightly distorted. Also there is some scoring inside the...- Whisper

What do I have?
Yes you are correct or at least that’s what the guy said that his parents told him. I have not touched anything on the rifle. He didn’t know when the copper wrap was done but was soldered to keep it in place. He was told that it of the 1750 vintage but I can’t validate that. The amazing thing is...- Whisper

What do I have?
I was just given this flintlock rifle from a friend. I was told that his dad acquired it sometime in the ‘30s when they were traveling around the world.- Whisper

TC Hawken twist?
I recently was given a TC Hawken Kit rifle that someone had built many years ago and it has a 1:48 twist rate. I’m not sure about the dates of manufacturing by the serial number but mine starts with K27xxxx.- Whisper

Hitting high
I had a TC Hawken that was shooting high also. I pondered changing the sights but before I did that I put a straight edge on the barrel and sure enough it was bent. Using a hydraulic press and some 4x4s I straighten the barrel and now it shoots great.- Whisper

Rate kits on difficulty: TVM, Chambers, Kibler, Pecatonica...
If you have limited tools don’t get one from Sitting Fox. I purchased a NW Trade gun from him and I was surprised that there was only one page of instructions which mentioned only the bolt through the tang. I have a good collection of tools and was lucky enough to have a friend that had the...- Whisper

Central Oregon saying Hello
I’m looking forward to some good information from your forum. I’m new to muzzleloading but have enjoyed what few years I’ve been involved. I’m a member of the Beaver State Historical Gunmakers Guild and last year I built my first rifle. It was a 28 gauge NW Trade gun. This year I’ve started a...- Whisper
