    Small glass vials for holding powder charge

    I searched for the ideal container and they may well not exist for every situation. For my .32 Cherokee, I ended up with 1 dram glass vials with screw off caps. I prefer them over flip-tops as I just don't trust flip-tops over time. I once had three quick loaders come open in a pocket...

    Woodsrunner CNC Incised Carving

    I think the machine carving looks great. I personally like the non-carved look, if I were buying a any gun, kit or not. Personal taste is what it is and there's no shame either way. I am also not big on inlays and I've seen some guns that looked more like my wife's jewelry cabinet projectile...

    PA Hunter Carbine - "New" used first range day

    The much loved and maligned in one. I recently found a used PA Hunter carbine at Fort Chambers and for a guy who is never lucky, I hit the lottery that day. I stopped in and was looking over the rack and saw a TC carbine profile and asked if it was a White Mountain or a PA Hunter. Turned out...

    Kibler side effect?

    I'll take quality control and repeatable precision any day. Not everyone is created equal... in skills, talent, and patience. Just because you played high school football does not equate to you being able to demand an NFL team sign you. I do minor wood-working and fell into a couple dozen...

    Alter TC Stock

    Given the choice between a Hawken .50 and a Renegade .54, I would take the .54 and not look back. I have both. In truth I would prefer to take my Cherokee if she shot a .54 with the .32s recoil :)

    CCI Caps - CCI reply regarding availability

    ... and there is a war in Europe, and you can bet any and every US company is going to submit bids to produce materials for that conflict because there is far more money in contract work than supplying hunting and recreational shooting supplies to a niche of a niche market in the US.

    T/C Renegade: Another “damaged in shipment” story…

    Was the gun shipped with the barrel IN the stock??? That's the biggest error made. The barrels must be removed and wrapped individually before packing. I just got a nice Seneca yesterday via FedEx and it was exceptionally packaged and in two parts, as I requested. I noted on another thread...

    Round ball and blood trails

    This is essentially the same thought I had just reading the thread title. Two recent experiences: 1. 2023 early January, .50 flintlock, PRB, 25 yards on a big button buck. Slight quarter-away angle. Tree stand, about 15 feet to my barrel. Ball entered perfectly behind the near shoulder...

    Gunbroker Unscrupulous Sellers

    I have purchased from Hibid without initial issue a few times. The site is legit enough but you need to know that the item you are bidding on may be listed on numerous other sites, as you said, it's an aggregator. The single biggest issue of buying through a broker or even directly from an...

    SOLD TC Renegade .50 Percussion

    Late model TC Renegade, .50 percussion. I bought this in 2020 and it was new-in-the-box. I have fired it no more than 20 times, all round ball loads at 80 grains 2F. The original configuration was factory sights. I have the original box as well which I will include. I have added a factory...

    FOR SALE .50 and .54 Maxi-Balls + .50 Great Plains Bullets

    I have .50 and .54 Maxi-Balls that I will not use. I bought these two years ago and my TCs prefer round balls and that's fine with me. I believe I got these from October Country. .50 = 71 count = $40 shipped .54 = 38 count = $30 shipped all 109 for $60 shipped Hornady Great Plains Bullets...

    Gunbroker Unscrupulous Sellers

    I have purchased a couple guns from GB over the years. Only once was I mislead when I bought a .50 Renegade that looked used but in really good condition. Once I got it, and I kid you not, I went thru more than 1,000 cleaning patches and every option you imagine to clean that bore. It looked...

    WANTED Cherokee Tang Peep Sight

    I am looking for a factory tang peep for my .32 Cherokee. I do OK with the factory open sights but my eyes seem to be getting worse faster. I stare at a computer screen all day and my focal distance is about 36 inches which plays havoc with any open sight combo I've tried. Peeps work fairly...

    How many .32 Cherokee kits were made?

    #7367 .32 with DST, "Cherokee" stamped on the barrel. I found it on an auction site, unfired, near pristine condition. Shoots better than my eyes are capable. 20g FFF, .310 ball and .010 patch has allowed me to take a few 40 yard headshots on squirrels. My next quest is finding the tang...

    TC Hawken Rifle barrel/caliber swaps

    It's possible to find .32 and .36 barrels for a Hawken or Renegade but they will be custom. And heavy. A .54 Renegade barrel is lighter than a .50, 1-inch flats but less metal as more is bored out, and so on. I have seen some .32s for both models pop up for sale on various sites/forums, even...

    Shooting into......

    For muzzle loader velocities... Straw bales. Bottom row side-facing, top row end-on. I place my targets to line up with the top row. Once it rains and the bales get soaked, no round ball is going through them. I use a shipping pallet faced with 1/2 plywood in front of that stack. I have one...
