    Is T/C Hawken worth the premium?

    Which one fits you the best? If you buy cheaper or more pricey, you won't be happy with it if it don't feel right. Might consider a custom build and then you will be happy. Play with them and handle them then decide. Mac.

    checking recovered patches?

    Are they hard to get down the barrel? I have the same rifle and with a .495 ball and .020 patch I have to hammer on it to get it started. .490 ball and .015 patch is what I'm playing with and trying to figure a sweet spot. Mac.

    What do you use for a filter? Would a fine screen or one of the paper cone type you get when you buy automotive paint? Thanks for the reply Swampy.

    Beeswax

    how pure does it have to be? I was up irrigating and ran into a beekeeper. He runs his honey combs through a centrifugal force seperator and some of it comes out pretty clean an some not so. Told me to give him a call in July and he would give me some. How clean does it have to be for fluxing...

    pickled eggs?

    Hot peppers mobetter Snake eyes. We even took a toothpic and poked a few holes in them so soak up faster. I like them kinda rubbery and well flavored and usually eat the peppers up before the eggs are gone. Kinda like a western hor de hourve, or how ever ya spell them french words. Mac.

    pickled eggs?

    The owner our small town bar used to give away the left over pickling juice and gallon jar from those hot sausage. Just boil up eggs and let them marinate awhile. Worked pretty good. Mac.

    Slugged the Barrel

    Thanks CJ, I am not the best at measuring so will double check it. Just wondering what other TC .50 were. Don't want to tear the whole barrel down to do the lap thing cause it ain't broke. I will just shoot it and enjoy. Thanks for all of your replies. Mac.

    Slugged the Barrel

    No expense involved. Just pounded a chunk of pure lead in the end of barrel. Was just trying to get a jump on the thickness of patches etc. This is a used rifle with some rust issues. Shoots fine, I was just wondering if lapping it with JB would help clean it up some? Mac.

    Slugged the Barrel

    on my .50 cal TCA flinter and It came out .50 bore and lands .57 -.58, depending how hard you squeeze the vernier cal. Does this seem correct? What are your thoughts on Putting JB bore paste on the slug and using it to Lap barrel? Thanks Mac.
