    Opportunity to purchase a .54 TC hawken

    I was kinda figuring for 100-150 I could not really come out on the bad end. I guess he was having some trouble with misfires, and got sick of it and stuck it in the corner of the barn.(more of a smokeless kind a guy) He said it may still be loaded. He has no use for it. Claims he'll never use...

    Stock question

    That's interesting. I've actually never shouldered such an awkward piece. I brought it up several times thinking maybe I screwed up somehow with the shop helper looking over my shoulder, but no, it really seemed to fit that way... Strange indeed. There seems no need to make a gun so...

    I looked at three today. The one I decided (.54 TC renegade) was the cleanest but still had some funny bumpiness on the lands/grooves of the rifling. It looked similar to what my "modern" gun looks like if the oil in the barrel dries. A clean patch came out a bit dirty, and seemed to clean it up...

    Buying used/1st post

    Good evening, I'm in the process of trading from a No.11 inline to a percussion sidelock. This will require the purchase of a previously owned sidelock. I've looked at a couple, and I feel like I'm not able to make a good judgement of the condition. The nipple area on some of the guns I've...
