    GPR ideas

    While waiting on my kit to come back from Lyman, I am trying to think of ideas for finishing the rifle. Has anyone looked at doing some of the furniture in bright polished metal (silver) as opposed to polished blued metal? I was thinking of the nose cap and the wedge pin plates. Thoughts?

    Sharps Paper Cartridge

    Cigarette roling papers, not normally used for cigarettes any more. Most use the double papers. Those that use it use it for the whole cartridge. Most that I speak with do not bother with nitrated paper. Also suggested (and used) is airmail paper. Some speak of going way authentic and try...

    PRB in C.W. Enfield?

    Do you know the manufacturer of the Enfield and which model? I assume it isn't an original. Fall Creek Sutlery states that 1858 2 band Enfields from Armisport and Euroarms have 1-48 twist. The 1853 3 band Enfield from Armisport has 1-48 and the Euroarms version has 1-78 twist. I don't have...

    Sons

    I just had to share this. Today my 5 yr old son received his biggest Christmas request, a toy musket. After he had moved all of his Christmas presents to his room, my wife looked in on him. He was sitting on the bed with a blanket spread out and his musket on the blanket. Wife: What are you...

    Used T/C Hawken

    Robert, The stock is cracking accross the toe of the butt and would require some significant work to repair effectively. The crack appears to be from internal weakness, as there are no marks from a blow or abuse. I called TC and their reputation of service excellence is well deserved. They...

    Hawken #11 vs musket caps

    Thanks for the feedback. I have both types of caps on hand for my Colt 1860 replica and my 1863 Sharps replica, so stock is no issue. Looking at the hammer, I can see the concern for fit of the musket cap. I'll keep using the magnum 11s. Thanks again.

    Hawken #11 vs musket caps

    I see where it is possible to change the TC Hawkens to use musket caps vs the #11 caps. Is this overkill or a good idea?

    Used T/C Hawken

    Robert, I wanted to thank you for sharing your story about buying your TC Hawken. It planted a seed. I went looking today and had the same luck, I found an older Hawken (no QLA barrel)for $100 out the door. I was incredibly pleased. Some rust in the barrel and I will have to send it to TC to...

    Lyman GPR Kit Help

    I received my GPR kit today from Midsouth and I think I have problems that I can't fix short of a new stock. The glaring issue is a 3/32" gap at the back of the tang between it and the stock. I figured that could be fixed by moving the tang back, but the next issue is lock alignment with...
