    John Browning Mountain Rifle

    Ohio, ideas like yours are part of what draws me to muzzleloading. I'm not sure I have the know how with barrel pressures and such with center fires to even attempt that. I would just get a new recipe out of a reloading data book and try a bigger bullet. I suppose your idea is similar only more...

    John Browning Mountain Rifle

    Mr Johnson, if you had that info or could get it I'd appreciate it. I did get a private email from another member who has a rifle or barrel for sale but we're in the "shopping stage". Thanks for your help. Jim

    John Browning Mountain Rifle

    Mr Johnson, I may go the route of buying a complete new rifle. I was thinking of just buying a barrel but those are proving to be pretty rare. I found my JBMR on gun broker and paid pretty close to that for it. I guess "want" overcomes good sense all the time, especially with guns.Mine has the...

    OK, my picture didn't print. I just watched the picture posting tutorial video. WOW! That's one way to make sure this site isn't over run with photos. I WILL figure it out!

    John Browning Mountain Rifle

    Good morning guys, Does anyone know of a JBMR barrel for sale? Even a real ratty one. I have a .50 and would like a .54. Not interested in a trade, only a buy. I know the barrel makers are busy right now. I bought the rifle second hand last year and love it. Here's a deer I shot last fall with...

    TC Hawken Smoothbore

    Longrifle, I used a borrowed 12ga muzzle loader a friend built a couple years ago. We call it "The Gastly Beast". Anyhow, I did get a turkey right at the edge of a recently burned crp field. When we looked at the picture later it was kinda comical. Here I was with a big grin, a dead turkey, The...

    TC Hawken Smoothbore

    Brown bear, that's my idea. I'd like to turkey hunt with my TC. That .62/20 would be a nice way to go.

    TC Hawken Smoothbore

    Thanks Longrifle, I got an email today from David at Track of the Wolf saying until the military contracts were filled a barrel was going to be hard to come by. I will keep searching the various classifieds.

    TC Hawken Smoothbore

    Has anyone found a good drop in shotgun barrel for a TC Hawken? It's such a good idea I guess I thought I'd be able to find a manufacturer with a warehouse full of them but I've come up empty. Any suggestions.

    TC Hawken sight install

    Thanks for all the ideas guys. To me, part of the attraction of black powder is the do it yourself attitude. I don't want to wreck a good barrel but I am going to attempt my own sight swap. Haven't decided whether to go with the dovetail or the screw down type. I did look on the parts house...

    TC Hawken sight install

    I have a TC Hawken I really like other than the looks of the sights. I wish they were more old fashion. The front sight looks easy to replace. The rear sight will need the dove tail slot cut in the barrel. Larry Potterfield makes it look pretty easy on the Midway USA commercials. Do any of you...
