    T/C Help

    Some of the comments can be construed as a little condescending. He's new to this guys, give him a break. I looked for a copy online, but the best that I can come up with is this: https://cfnparts.com/image/data/Scanned%20Schematics/Thompson%20Center/Hawken.jpg It is a diagram which should...

    Patch/Cap box on a percussion rifle

    JB67, you must have a shorty capper. The ones that I have hold 15 - you can squeeze 16 or more in if you are determined.

    Muzzleloader wont fire.

    I teach hunter safety, and we use 777. It is not stored in ideal conditions. The misfires that we have had are directly due to MY errors in not clearing the barrel of excess oil for the first shot of the day on occasion. Here are some tips that may help. When you load, leave the hammer at...

    Help Fixing Up Inherited Muzzleloaders

    Best way to safely remove rust

    Evaporust is a miracle. I thought that it was snake oil, but I am sold on it! That gun looks like it may be functional again - if the important parts aren't dangerously damaged, I don't see any reason that you can't make it a shooter.

    Triple 7 ignition problems

    I find this discussion fascinating. We use triple 7 at the range for Hunter Safety because that is what the state has bought. We use whatever caps the state provides - currently CCI caps - not magnums. The guns don't get a lot of love and are stored in an inhospitable environment. I clean it...

    Triple 7 ignition problems

    We use T7 in the Hunter Safety classes that I teach. I am the muzzleloading guy for our group. A lot of good information here, but one tip that helps a lot is that once you have poured the powder into the barrel, you should slap the side of the stock opposite the lock with authority. This...
