    Barrel browning or bluing services?

    I have a T/C Hawken barrel I want to send in to get browned or blued. I would do it myself but a lack of time, proper space, and equipment compel me to "treat myself". Who would you recommend for a mail-in service? No local shop in my area does it. Or, is there a member of our collective who...

    A thank you to all that helped with my hunt!

    I want to give a big thank you to the community here for being a part of making this happen. I can definitely say that some of the tips and tricks that were shared with me, and what I researched here, made the difference in this amazing hunt!

    CO2/compressed air to clear flash channel?

    Rather than popping off a cap, can one use compressed air, or a CO2 discharger, to ensure an unobstructed flash channel prior to loading for a hunt?

    First muzzleloading elk hunt...

    While I appreciate the tips and encouragement, I was looking for more "logistical" advice... Ex. how to prepare for rainy weather with my Hawken, discharge tips for the end of the day, things like that... Thanks!

    First muzzleloading elk hunt...

    OK, this is it! I'm down to the one week mark before my first muzzleloader elk hunt in Colorado. I've killed my fair share of whitetail with a muzzleloader over the years, but that was back east on my family farm before I moved to Colorado 20 years ago. I've taken eight elk, but all with a...

    Not enough actuation in T/C Hawken hammer?

    Two T/C Hawkens below... Top one is my .54 (like new condition, just picked it up). The bottom one is my trusty .50 (a little less new...haha) Both are at full ****. The .54 hammer functions properly, but it's travel is far less than the .50. At half ****, I can't slip a cap on with any of...

    T/C Sight Replacement...

    Note: Yes, I did a search, and yes, I did find information in the direction I was looking. That said, new things come out often, so I am compelled to ask the following... I want to replace the stock front and rear sight on my T/C Hawken (.54). I am wanting a blade up front and a squared off...

    The barrel has been shot for almost a decade by it's previous owner. Could it still be sharp?

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I bought some supplies to lube my maxi balls in bulk, to make some more moose snot, and also starting working on my pack for my elk hunt in Colorado in a month.

    Ballistol-based lube?

    Thanks for the advice, all. I already have TOTW mink oil (and mixed up some moose juice last night as well to give it a try). I do want to note that while I have a greenhorn status, I have muzzleloaded before, albeit a very long time ago and in the eastern woods instead of the western...
