    New (to me) little oddball

    Do you mind if I ask what is the state in which you live? Florida is getting crowded, and there are housing developments going up around our private club.

    Historical accuracy in big manufacturers

    My cousin started me shooting black powder by giving me a T/C Hawkins .50 kit rifle he picked up years ago for very little money. The reason was that the person who put it together had very limited skills or interest. The ferrules (?) that are to hold the ramrod in place were simply glued to the...

    Crazy bidding on Gunbroker

    Maybe we could make guns out of toilet paper! Talk about rare. Think how much money THEY would go for!

    Defarbed

    The crew of the CSS Hunley, the Confederate submarine, were guarded by a Confederate Honor Guard made up of re-enactors who wore realistic clothing that you describe. They conveyed the remains to their burial ground in a very moving and well rehearsed ceremony, with period weapons. I was not...

    Hello from Missouri

    I notice that the ramrod protrudes past the muzzle. If it does not sit flush with the muzzle, try turning it around to see if it seats fully in place. Nice photos of a very beautiful rifle!

    Hello from Missouri

    Welcome from the Treasure Coast. I just started last year with the same Traditions Hawkins .50 caliber rifle you have! It was a kit gun my cousin gave me. He got it from a gun show, and it was so cheap he thought it was a wall hanger. The original owner was not a gifted craftsman. The front...

    I would like to buy your pistol. My cousin let me shoot his at the range, and I loved it. I live in Florida, and shipping should be no problem.

    I’m still alive

    I live in Florida. God's waiting room. I feel lucky so far. Life is wonderful, yet dealing with health issues of those close to you is tough. I used to shoot modern weapons at the range. My cousin found an old Hawkins kit gun in the back of his gun safe he picked up years ago. The trigger...

    T/C Hawken - To Build or Not To Build

    A tale of two guns. Kit gun, top, Factory built gun, below. The kit gun was built by someone else, and I acquired it when no one else wanted it. Note the ferrules for the ramrod were not installed, and the front sight is backwards. Both shoot about the same, though, even with the backwards front...

    WHY SHOOT REPRO GUNS

    I have been told that when Navy Arms Company began making reproductions, they rebuilt muskets used in the Civil War and created parts to make serviceable rifles. If this is true, then many "repros" are actually being fired in the US.

    I'm so depressed with new gun

    There is a YouTube video, Pedersoli Enfield P53 Unboxing + First Look at its Quality that may help. If you forward to 7:48 minutes, you can see the lock.

    WITHDRAWN Professional Custom Built 4 Bore Elephant Rifle

    When you shoot it, does the smoke look like a mushroom cloud? I would imagine that the smoke would resemble Waterloo in mid-battle. What a great gun!!
