I had a 5o cal , I knew some had a fast twist, I didn’t know that till I had bought it. I basically wanted to confirm what y’all have already said. A guy was supposed to be sending me pics of a Hawken turned out to be a wmc in 54.

I am in north Alabama.

what’s the specs ect on these?

He was askin $325 but said he’d come down since it looked like it had got worse . . I think I am going to pass. Though a t/c in 54 has been hard for me to find Locally

Found a t/c Hawken in 54 cal for sell but it has got spots on the barrel. , He says it was rust he cleaned off but the barrel is pitted very lightly . What do y’all think ? Reason for concern? He said the steel has turned white.

I don’t know the details yet but I had gentlemen tell me he had one that he was thinking of selling. Says it’s in “good” condition What’s the going price on these?

In my 1858 my loading process is powder felt wad , ball Topped with bore butter Is this correct or wrong? I have never had a issue and it’s accurate

Good info, thanks my gun is accurate with 30 3f, loaded with a 454 round ball over a felt pad. I top the cylinder off with bore butter , never had a issue.

My booklet that came with the gun says 30grs black powder is the max load. I been seeing a lot of ppl claiming to load 40grs of 3f . Is this dangerous?

I have never seen one.

I just posted a warning in Aldeer.com Concearning a similar issue with BP rifles . You would think it’s common knowledge to stay away from smokeless powder but evidently it’s not so we should spread the word. I know guy in Tn that lost most of his arm because he didn’t know he couldn’t use...

Though some may think it’s silly. I think it would be interesting to see a penetration test as well. I actually had to use mine to dispatch a deer at point blank range during muzzleloader season.

Y’all have inspired me to make on for my T/C thanks

I have the standard model. I have wanted the model like you have since I first saw one.

I have read the majority of authentic Hawken rifles were 1:48 twist. Is this true?

I found a few of the factory Cherokee peep sights online . Those things are expensive but I may end up dropping the cash on one.

When I was a kid and before the inlines hit the market. I remember Dad, having all kinds of issues with ignition on his cva Hawkins among others of course that meant My brother (invest arms carbine) and I did too ( T/C Cherokee) We tried everything thing to make sure our guns would go boom...

I am having no luck locating Thompson centers factory load recommendations for the Cherokee rifle. Does anyone have this info? Sorry, I found the info right after posting.

I like it.

Sorry I forgot to mention but yes I have a 45. I’d love to have a 32cal someday
