    new sight for 54 TC flintlock

    I have the same front sight,(mounted properly) and when shooting, I only see a small point of reflected light,almost like using a front bead. You might have issues seeing too much light on the sight that way, which may keep you from getting a consistant sight picture in varying light.

    couple of questions about an original gun

    A damascus barrel is made by wrapping iron around a mandrel, I wouldn't think it should be massive, it may be finished to look like damascus. Another thing I wonder is how would someone attach a breechplug safley to a damascus tube?

    stock finish help?

    I used a recipe from Dixie gun works years ago. break up a plug of chewing tobacco and soak in about 10 oz. of ammonia for a couple of weeks. Strain the liquid and stain the stock with it. Let it dry real good and whisker the stock, Then I put 11 coats of tru-oil on. Its a golden honey color...

    Lock problems

    I don't know how hard they are , But looking at my flinters, all of them(3) have a bend in the sear bar. (I didn't do it) so I would quess that bending it is an common adjustment.

    Muzzle loader season starts in NY Mon 12/13. As usual, I'm going to be the only guy in the club with a .62 cal. flint fullstock. Most every one here shoots an in&^%e.

    modern bullets for hunting

    I tried .451 lead swc's in a 45 cal muzzleloader with less than stellar results. I would stick to what its made for, then get another rifle, you have a reason now.

    The Kentucky Has a Brown Bore

    Have you been using bore butter? When I used to use it I could never get the black out. Now I use crisco, clean with hot soapy water, and oil the bore for storage.

    First shot from clean barrel

    Have you thought about a different load, one that will shoot from a clean barrel, That is the most important shot. You're probably not going to get a second shot hunting.

    Hope you can see my flare!

    What part of New York are you from? I'm in southern Dutchess. Have you considered a used rifle? Look in the classifieds from members. $600.00 should get something used and higher quality.

    T/C Customer Service

    A couple of years back, I lost the screw-in aperture on my T/C rear sight. I called them to order a new one and they refused payment. Great service. They even paid to ship it to me.

    Flintlock's killing power

    I hit a small whitetail last year with a 62 cal ball.(341 grains), It went in thru a rib and exited thru the middle of the off shoulder. I lost about 6oz. of meat.
