    Dissapointing day with new " to me" rifle

    (UPDATE) Man, when it rains it pours. Looking the gun over, I have just found a hairline crack in the stock. Runs right through the bolt hole opposite the lock. I called TC, and wone of thier questions was "is the wedgepin fit tight?". I remember it being tight, but thought I'd look at it...

    Dissapointing day with new " to me" rifle

    I've cleaned the gun, and settled down a little, but JUST a little. I can't for the life of me find the "loose spot" that I was feeling while loading. It seems to not be there, which is like when I bought it. But it sure seemed to be there today. I did start out with Pyrodex RS today. Not...

    Dissapointing day with new " to me" rifle

    I posted last week that I bought a.54 cal T/C White Mountain Carbine at a gun show. Well, I think now I know why it was there. Went out to shoot today, and found that the only way to get on a 12 inch target consistently, was to stay within 25 yards. Using PRB mmight get a 12 inch group...

    T/C White Mountain Carbine

    sabinajiles, Does your book tell what the minimum and maximum powder charge should be? I sent an e-mail request to TC for a manual, but it came back undeliverable. I really appreciate you guys help. Dave

    T/C White Mountain Carbine

    Roundball...Thanks a million. That's exactly what I wanted to hear!! Sounds exactly like what I have here. recoil pad, sling and swivels, stepped barrel, .54 percussion. I knew somebody could help. Just didn't think it would be this fast. The twist rate really had me worried. I feel...

    T/C White Mountain Carbine

    I went to a gun show today, and was reeled in by a TC White Mountain Carbine in .54 cal. Very nice gun, very clean, just a couple of small knicks in the stock. Got it for $140. Not the deal of the century, but I thought it was a fair deal. I was pretty dissapointed when what little I could...

    Re: Newbie question - CVA Bobcat first impressions

    Yes, I am using #11 caps. I think the fact that we shortened the nipple and it helped, supports the alignment theory. I'll take a look at that. Thanks again, Dave

    Re: Newbie question - CVA Bobcat first impressions

    Well we took the Bobcat out today. What a blast ! There definately is something different about it (BP). At 25 steps, PRB and 50 grains of Pyrodex, the thing is dead on. Didn't get a chance to really dial it in at different ranges. But I do think it'll be a good shooter. Already see...

    Newbie question

    Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it. We're going tomorrow to try it out. I'll let you know what happens. I did have a bit of a scare tonight. I went to clean the thing for the first time, and evidently, used the wrong tip on the rod. Never occured to me that they would be...

    Newbie question

    :)No slap taken. That was a hillarious post. I can laugh at myself, and it won't be the first time that I have spent way more than I needed to to get started at something. I may have exagerated a bit on what I spent. I didn't buy anything that was $15 for 15 or 20 rounds, I can tell you...

    Newbie question

    After posting for advise in another area here, I bought a CVA Bobcat for my son and I to see if we liked BP shooting. Thanks for the suggestions. I have read over and over that you have to experiment with loads and leads to get the best results. SO I went to Gander Mountain and spent...
