No joke there! T/C factory touch holes can be rather... random (?) in location. The rifle this lock came from had a vent so low it started flame cutting the edge of the pan. This one's better, but still a trifle below the horizon. She lights percussion quick, so no complaints.

Percussion, original configuration, and flintlock. Curiously, the sights are Patridge and not bead and U notch. They're T/C, but I've never seen such on a Hawken. The barrels a pre warning, Cal 50, K204xxx serial number.

A while back, I bought a curiously customized T/ C Hawken flintlock for the purpose of using the lock and barrel for my factory laminate stocked percussion Hawken. If a laminated stock Hawken strikes you as pecular, try one with a Fajen pistol grip stock! The triggerguard tang was trimmed and...

Hawken and Renegade. I favor both equally. The Renegade is a flintlock though.

My rifleguns are all sans patchbox. Could find a spot under the buttplate! Could have it engraved on my faithful ol' P53 Enfield. Repop, not original.

ALWAYS with the gun porn... I love the quote too! Haven't heard that one in years. Still relevant as ever...

After not seeing "caps" used in rifles that load from the wrong end for nearly a year, in the space of one week I score 13,000 ( 6k CCI and 7k Winchester) @ $89/1000. I'm good for a while. Also have 5,500 #11s and 1k muskets.

A T/C Big Boar .58. Never gave it a fair chance 'cuz it would shoot the .575213OS minies I was shooting from my repop P53 Enield. The one that HURTS though, not a muzzleloader but still an Enfield... Much sad...

Diversity and inclusion. Own rock locks AND cap busters!

Cool! Maybe an early one? Yours looks different than I remember. Maybe I'm getting old...

A bit bitter aren't we? No need to take offense.

A numbered shim... Matches the stock, buttplate and patch box too. I'd say more than a shim. I too have seen hot glue and plastic wood. The monster of mass production...

I've got one too. Superbly set up and ACCURATE! Mine is noticeably heavier than a regular walnut stock. There's nothing provable with T/Cs since the fire destroyed all records. I've heard that they ordered 2,000 stocks, built a few rifles and sold the stocks through Fox Ridge. I saw a copy of a...

The listed velocities are the average, so the variations listed are the extreme. The 14 fps spread would be, +/- 7 fps. Frontier! That is an awesome looking homemade Kadooty!

T/C Hawken kit back in 1979. Knew nothing about building one, and no one to guide me soooo... I ruined it. Was near 20 year before I tried flintlocks again. Any deer would've been safe as Momma's arms... Just never could get one to group! Lymans, T/C's, CVA's, even a couple custom rifles, but no...

My P53 Enfield is certainly " tactical"! Especially so if I put on the pointy thang..

Ooooohhh... Pretty...

Couple extra weeks to get a buck here in Pennsylvania. Initially. They wound up vexing me to the point of " I will not be defeated!" Now, I have more flintlocks than percussions. Or unmentionables.

I've got two T/C Renegades, with aperture sights, that will scare the devil out of an inch, 3 shots, at 50 yards. Gotta get up the nerver to try them at 100. I don't do my best with flinters...

Did finally chrono the easier ramming barrel. Results were interesting. Same projectiles and charges. 200 grain 1665 fps. High/ low 14 fps. Tight barrel-1523 fps. H/L 14 fps 230 grain 1602 fps H/L 16 fps. Tight barrel 1448 fps. H/ L 14 fps 250 grain 1545 fps. H/ L 14 fps Tight barrel 1407 fps...
