Found this nice Ted Cash capper at Dixon's for $20. They have another...

The engraving is very nice! Assuming you could find someone to do that kind of work, it's gonna cost ya! $700 would be a good price to me. A good Hawken, especially a .54, is hard to touch 'round here for $500. And that's without the engraving. If ya like it, and the bore's good, GO for it.

Love the graying!!! But aren't there rules about gun porn? Gorgeous riflegun!

Almost all of mine have names. Only one with a human name is my P53 that I used to shoot Yankees with. She's " Victoria ". Vicky to her friends. My unmentionable is " Calico". She's a walnut stocked mix of blued and... armory bright. My laminate stocked T/C Hawken is "Autumn". I'm waiting on...

They say " Never meet your heroes". Generally excellent advice, but for CapandBall I'd gladly take the risk!

My first 4 muzzleloader deer went down to my Euroarms P53 Enfield and a Lyman 575213OS, lubed with the old heat and dip Bore Butter over 60 grains of either Elephant or Goex 3f. All one shot kills. Messy chests too. Every time I popped a cap on a yankee, I almost felt bad having seen what a...

With 14 fps ( 2 loads) and 7 fps actual variations, not calculated, I don't think my swab/ ramming is an issue.

My elder .50 flint Renegade flintlock gave some very curious results 'tuther day. The charge was 70 grains of 3f Swiss, the projectiles I can not mention, but weigh 200, 230 and 250 grains. The 200s did 1528 fps with a high/ low of 14 fps The 230s did 1448 fps with a high/ low of 14 fps The...

IF it's possible to go wrong with a Renegade, and my own experience says it REALLY hard to, it won't be by much. If the bores are good, you'll have a superb rifle. Sometimes the locks need a little love, they're production not custom after all, but they're not hard to work on. And under $400...

Got my range box read to take Autumn, my T/C Hawken with the factory laminated stock, to the range. Our October beer season will be here soon. Bear and ( antlerless) deer. You know... beer! Hope she doesn't chastise me for not taking her for a walk these past 3 years...

Gimme the bad, old, Hoppes any day. Ballistol. Use it. Like it, but forgive me it does smell like licorice and sweaty balls. Not lead. The other ones...

On this site, it would be my laminate stock T/C Hawken .50 percussion. Autumn is a spooky accurate rifle.. But so are both of my .50 Renegade flintlocks...

Cabelas in Hamburg Pa is well stocked with Remington #11 caps. $13.99/100... But they're there! A good sign?

Just don't over oil after cleaning. I patch the bore and patent breech, if so equipped, before loading the first round. Never had a misfire on the first round, range or field.

Shot my smallest ever composite group at 50 yards with my .50 caliber flintlock Renegade. Factory blade and aperture sights Can't mention the load, but the smallest group was 5/8ths and the largest 1 & 5/8ths. 9 shots were 1 &13/16ths. It was so humid that the pan was wet between shots! Primed...

Handsome rifle gun ya got there

Hey Y'all! Lookie me! I can't pay attention to what I'ma doin'! Once? Ok. We were all noobs at one time. More than once? Put it away before ya hurt yourself.

Sometimes, it's the little touches that add sooo much.

Cool idea, thank you!

I had a Lyman frizzen fitted to my T/C lock and it resulted in a pan/ frizzen gap that is unacceptably large. I'm thinking that if I sole the bottom of the frizzen it'll correct this. I don't think it wise to work on the pan, as the vent blast could dislodge it or get under it. I've seen vent...
