    FOR SALE TC Maxi-Ball .50 (51)

    Hand cast TC Maxi-Ball mold bullets in .50 Not sure where I bought them, TotW maybe? Had them for a couple years and just don't like them. My one Renegade is too large bore for them anyway. Shoot them or melt them down. I did fire nine so 51 left in the three lots. $30 TYD

    Boar/canoe rifle

    If any of you guys are looking for some mostly finished TC Hawken stocks, I have a pile of factory seconds. I have completed a couple which were the most 'complete' and they turned out pretty nice with my limited skill set. Most of those remaining need the ramrod channel bored out, which is...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Jim, I got one of my trail cams later in the day... several running around. Our bird feeder had... 15 ... the other day. Probably need to move that inside our chicken coop to keep the squirrels off it and then the girls can get some bonus snacks. I'm just west of Etown half way to Falmouth.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    20 plus mph winds today and feels like less than 20 degrees... look out my at-home office window around 2pm and see two squirrels playing around in the oaks. Didn't expect to see that. Was tempted to grab the .32 instead of the .50 after work but still want to find a buck so...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I am one of those older but not old guys that has a terrible/worsening back and hips and ground sitting is getting harder. Standing still for more than a few minutes is worse than a forced march through a foot of snow. I'd rather walk than stand still. I think if anyone has the parts and...

    Pyrodex or T7

    as my 'ignore' list grows.... Anyway, if you have a clear/clean channel a #11 will work just fine with T7. Magnum versions, obviously better. I did have an old .54 Renegade that was problematic from the day it arrived and I ended up trying the 209-conversion with it. The 'Mag-spark' is a...

    Wanted - parts Hornady Great Plains .54 cal conicals

    EDIT: I misread your ".54" Maybe you only may want the Maxis, if not, sorry for the confusion on that. Take a look at these, PM with with your thoughts and an offer. I have had these since around late-2020 and absolutely hate them :) The GPs are full boxes, never shot them. The Maxis are...

    Pyrodex or T7

    Back in early 2021 I couldn't find BP and the local shop had T7 2F so I bought a bottle for my .50 and .54 Renegades. I had never used it prior. I settled on 57.5 grains by weight and had good accuracy at 50 yards with both guns. No ignition issues with CCI or some old Remington caps.

    MELORDY 1 inch Buckles Straps Set... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6VM3B7D?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Straps and buckles set I previously mentioned. Good to attach your sticks or make carry straps. Probably could find wider ones if desired.

    How about light weight ratchet straps? Cut some length off. Ready made hooks and easy to adjust... if that's not what you're hanging it with. I picked up some quick clips and nylon straps on Amazon. Easy to a affix to various packs etc and cooties serve you in multiple ways.

    Lead or leather to hold a flint

    Im an improviser... I use elk skin work gloves once the fingers blow out. Just cut out the fingers or palm and you're good to go. Make quite a few from XL pairs.

    .36 small game rifle

    My Pedersoli Scout in .50 has a very fast lock, easy on flint and can't recall a failure to spark. It looks small but that lock, IMO, is very good. I would definitely buy another one if I 'needed' it.

    TC Hawken pa conicals

    They'll shoot fine. Based on TCs recommended loads for conicals (NOT including the PA Conical), you would be starting at a low of 70 grains 2F, if not finding 80 grains to be suitable. I linked this manual/page in another thread earlier today and it applies to you as well. You can see that...

    Questions about choosing a first full-stock flintlock.

    Budget... and desire to do a kit or buy complete? I bought into 'long' guns by cheating and getting a Pedersoli Scout in .50 kit for about $800 delivered in late 2019. Prices are much higher now, nearly $1,000 for a finished one, at least via Dixie Gun Works. So in that regard, you are...

    .36 small game rifle

    So I shouldn't load my 24 inch Cherokee? Or my 21 inch carbines Ever? That's a bit of a stretch. I never hold the gun between my knees and know no one who does. That's bad form and no one would ever be instructed to do so if it puts your torso over the barrel.

    .36 small game rifle

    To corroborate with JD, more reference data... TC Cherokee .32. 6 lbs 7 oz with sling. I think this is right at 6 lbs without the sling. TC Seneca .36 6 lbs 11 oz TC Seneca .45 6 lbs 1/2 oz TC Renegade .50 8 lbs 2 oz with peep sight TC PA Hunter Carbine. 50. 6 lbs 12 oz with sling TC custom...
