Just acquired this Thompson Center Hawken in 54 caliber. Has some scratches, dings and a crack. Nice bore and lock with double set triggers works as they should. I'm not messing with it and selling as is. Got it in a trade with three other rifles. No idea on the value but I'm gonna ask $375...

Just acquired this little Traditions Fox River 50 in 50 caliber. Has some scratches and dings. Nice bore and lock works as it should. This rifle is light as a bag of feathers. Short carbine style barrel. Make a nice youth starter gun or for the Missie. Otherwise don't know much more about it...

Just acquired this little Traditions Fox River 50 in 54 caliber. Has some scratches and dings. Missing the lock screw washer. Nice bore and lock works as it should. This rifle is light as a bag of feathers. Short carbine style barrel. Make a nice youth starter gun or for the Missie. Otherwise...

Just add powder and caps and its ready to go. .315 balls and Baby Flask that dispenses the right amount of 4f or 3f powder.

Ok, that makes sense. The flintlock half cock is neccessary. Some percussion actually don't leave enough room for capping, so that doesn't help much. I just use half cock for still hurting, it does keep the hammer off the cap.

All good information, but- What is the actual purpose of half cock?

Was searching "half cock" and came upon this post. What is the purpose of "half cock" ? Some say its a safety function. Others say its for capping or both. I've seen some locks where half cock will not allow enough space to install a cap. And nowhere have I seen or read on how to cap a nipple...

He also has a TC Hawken 54, two Traditions Fox River, one in 54 and 50 caliber. He's selling them as a lot. All I really wanted was the pistol.

The fly was out when I took the picture as was the plate. I had it apart so I could see what was going on and take pictures. If I may ask, whats the difference between the mountain and the Hawken ?

Yeah I'm thinking someone did some parts changing. It worked good as it was with just the front trigger. Took it apart and the front trigger had the little spring missing. Replaced it and they worked good. Set them back and the rear trigger couldn't set it off. That's when I noticed what was...

And even then if it is for a single trigger, the adjustment screw is still the same. It shouldn't hit the trip lever. Ok, I see that. I got it to work. I used some Arkansas stone on the sear of the trip lever. A little at a time until it works good. Works great now. Did away with that little...

Well the thing is I have a 50 and 54 caliber with the set triggers and both have that little adjustment screw.

You can see where the screw has been dragging.

Yes the bores are excellent. I got the triggers fixed on the CVA. The little spring was missing. Having trouble with the CVA mountain lock. I'm thinking the wrong parts were replaced. The sear sits too deep and won't trip except by force. The adjustment screw serves no purpose. If I adjust it...

After closer inspection I believe it was a kit. The front cap is in the rough. The trigger and guard need to be inletted more. Besides that it shoots. The trigger is a lot different than those wobbly Dikar, Jukar CVAs

Well I went ahead and got it. Along with a 45 caliber CVA double trigger and iron rear sight. Patch box, double wedge. Only thing wrong with it is set trigger is not working. I have the original photo. I have it tore down already. Haven't took the triggers off yet. Got em both for $180. He...

Well I thought about that, but all I have are .440 balls and plenty of em. I guess I could just try different sizes of patches. But the .440 is the most common for 45 caliber right?

Will soon post pictures of flask and 31 caliber balls.
