my eye sight is not to good especially in my right eye. I have had to switch to left ha d shooting with my T/C Cherokee. I read they made a peep sight for it but it is hard to locate. How do y’all feel about peep sights? And is this even a option?

It shot well with 60gr as well but it seemed to prefer 50gr of 3f . Thank you for the reply.

Will do , it’s been a long time since I shot the cherokee. I have forgot what loads I use to shoot in it..

Best way I have found to deal with a stuck load is . Adding a small charge of powder under nipple. , I bought a 45 T/C cheap because they guy couldn’t get it unloaded in a few mins I got the rifle to clear the rd after it set for several years. Also another option is using compressed air...

I ha e a Cherokee and have broke two over the years luckily I had bought a factory replacement just before the became impossible to find. I made a brass rod out of a gun cleaning kit. It was already threaded to accept the jigs. I added the end piece from the wood ram rod to the other end for...

Working up a load today. Couldn’t tell much difference in accuracy with a load of 50 gr and 60 gr of 3f goex . Shooting a T/C maxi ball , lubed with T/c bore butter How do y’all feel about a 50gr load mentioned above for deer out to 100 yards ? Got complete pass through on plywood and...

I belief this one does have the chromed line barrel

Its a investarms. Sorry.

Glad I only have $125 for it.

I finally got to go pick up the 54 cal hawkens today, I am as told it was a t/c but when I got there it turns out to be a investa arms. It was In great condition so I went ahead and took it. What's the differences in the two?

I saw a t/c and cabelas rifle at a local shop the other day. Both need some work. I have always wanted to learn the art of building muzzleloaders. I was tempted to bring one home and get me feet wet toying with it. Maybe refinishing the wood to another color or style. Replacing the brass with...

Thanks for the info, I have really been met with a lot of negativity on other forums concerning cutting Down the hawkens barrel. I guess I'll leave it as is and look for another gun already with the shorter barrel.

I have had a 50. Wmc, I was thinking just this morning that a 54. Would be a sweet carbine. I never could get the 50 to shoot accurately , maybe I just didn't invest enough time to find the right load. I believe the 54 wmc is a 1:48 sh it should shoot a round ball decently.

Thanks guys , I have a Tennessee poor boy I can slide down the barrel to get out of my deer stand lol , seriously I'd like to have a shorter gun for my small shooting houses etc, but I certainly don't want to mess up a good gun. Thanks for the replies.

I am was thinking I'd like to try a shorter version of the cva Hawkins rifle , in 50 or 54 , I'd like to cut the barrel down to 18" to 20". Has anyone ever done this?

In 50 cal. What's the history , specs , load recommendation and value in Today's market ?

I hate to tell this aloud but I had a cleaning brush come off in the bore at camp the other day. I tired every thing but since I was miles from home. I did the same. I doubt it was good on the bore but I didn't have much choice.

Thanks for the replies, I thought these fetched alittle more than s Hawkens

I found a awesome deal on a brand new flintlock 54. Cal layman great plans hunter. I passed it up originally because I didn't like the fast twist barrel. But he has dropped the price so low I can't pass on it. I know that's definitely not a round ball twist but do you think there is any chance...

i may be getting my hands on another t/c cherokee . i have one that i have had since i was 12. i am unsure if ill keep it for parts or sale. whats a real world value for these guns? the negitive is its been tapped for scope mounts. but he claims its in great shape
