    Sort of a Cleaning Question

    I purchased one of those CO2 devices that allows you to "shoot" the ball out without having to fire the rifle. So, after a long day deer hunting with my New Englander I used the device for the first time and it works as advertised. I'm sure that even though the bullet left the barrel there may...

    Cap lock Question

    It has been 15 years since I have hunted with a muzzleloader. I repurchased a TC New Englander because that is what I first used. Up until now it has been fired on the range. This year I'm using it for ML season. I assume you put it on half-cock after capping it so make it "safe" while in...

    First BP shoot after 15 or so years

    Went to a shoot yesterday. Chapter of the NMLRA. It was low key and a lot of fun. I shot my new-to-me TC New Englander, 54 Cal. I did ok for me, but didn't win any prizes. I notices that most were shooting more traditional styled rifles, many with set triggers. I suppose that would make a...

    Still Hunting

    I picked up a TC New Englander, 54 Cal. I plan on using PRB during our muzzleloader season. Now there is a reason for my moniker. BTW, have you ever seen a buffalo in a tree stand? Therefore, I'm thinking of trying to still hunt(?). But I don't know how to do it. The closest thing I come...

    Powder Horn: Stupid Newbie Question

    I'm back into BP after selling my original stuff 9 years ago. Back then I had a brass BP flask that you unscrewed one end, poured in the powder, screwed the cap back on and dispensed from the other end by pushing a button. This time I thought I would be a little more PC and get a real powder...

    Cleaning questions

    For my first cleaning of my new (old) New Englander I sprayed some gun scrubber down the barrel, ran the brush, ran a few wet (gun scrubber) patches, ran a few dry patches, ran a few wet (Shooters Choice) patches, ran a few dry patches. Never did get 100% clean, but close enough for mountain...

    Cold Bluing the Barrel

    I just received my new TC New Englander. It has some light pitting and rust on the barrel that covers about the first 2 inches from the nipple towards the rear sight and a fair about of surface rust (no pitting). :( Instead of look for the 0000 steel wool I used one of those plastic scouring...

    Double Barrel Pistol

    This, ladies and gentlemen is NOT an example of gun safety. :nono:

    TC New Englander

    I'm getting back into muzzleloaders after selling all my bp stuff 9 years ago. A friend bought an in-line and I just bought a New Englander. So here's the question: Would y'all consider a New Englander acceptable for 'Traditional Muzzleloader Hunting?" I hope so...because I think the...
