    Free TC Hawken 45cal

    Nice job. ...and the price was right. Free stuff is always great, especially if it goes BOOM!

    Thomson Center .50 cal rifle questions

    I'm still in the 'seeking' advice group, but you may find this site useful... https://truegunvalue.com/rifle/pennsylvania/price-historical-value/used/2 It looks at how much a particular rifle sold for over the past 12months and averages it out...includes makers other than T/C. They had 11 T/C...

    4f priming powder...

    Thank you all for sharing your knowledge. My take (based on your experience) is that any grade will do the job. The different burn speeds are mesurable but probably not discernable to the human eye. 4f is somewhat sensitive to humidity but flows best from pan primers. The most important advice...

    4f priming powder...

    Thanks for the responces. The weekend will be cold and wet (maybe flurries on Sunday!), not the best weather for a greenhorn's first outing with a flintlock! By the time I get to shot it, I will have my 4f! It's nice to know that I can use other powders in pinch. I will use the 4f, but will try...

    Thompson Center Hawken question

    It's probably not a good comparison since I am in Canada, but yesterday, I received a T/C Hawken .50cal flintlock in great condition (barrel 100%, wood 90%) for $400cdn (approx $300usd) plus $50 shipping. I would have paid $100 more without blinking.

    WANTED # 11 caps

    I couldn't find ANY #11 caps anywhere/at any price in Canada, so I bought a flintlock (T/C .50 Hawken) while waiting for supply chain problems to clear up.

    Bonjour from Canada

    Hello All, My name is Denis and I'm relatively new to muzzleloading. Three years ago, I got a good deal on a Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle .50cal and I have had a blast with it since. In June, I purchased a Pietta cap/ball revolver .36cal which has yet to be delivered pending gouv permits...
