    Couple of Questions to ask

    The shop owner shined a green light down the barrel and let me look with his videoscope. The .50 renegade has the worst inside but its not bad just some dirt and other gunk like dried up oil at the bottom. The .45 and the .54s look nice the shop owner just sent me a video of the .45's bore and...

    Couple of Questions to ask

    What is a better choice the .45, .50 or the .54 ? The Renegade or the Hawken ? They all are similar in price so I wouldnt mind spending the extra $100-$150.

    Need some assitance with my first flintlock choice

    Thanks for the pictures. Both of the rifles based off the picture you linked show that they have the old lock. Would that mean the rifles arent worth the price ?

    Need some assitance with my first flintlock choice

    In my local shop there are two T/C Hawken Muzzleloaders. Both are flintlock and 28" Barrel. One is .45 caliber and the other is .54 caliber. Both rifles are in an 8/10 condition. They look excellent down the bore but the price has me halted. The .45 Hawken is $500 and the .54 Hawken is $600. The...

    Trying to make a decision

    Update on this post I haggled him around to $350 and he said he'd have to take a day or two to think it over. He tried to sell me a Sam River flintlock Hawken rifle in .62 caliber but it was awkward and heavy (12lb rifle) and i have 200 .490 round balls and a mix or .010"/.015" patches so I want...

    New to the group I guess you can say

    I have never been taught how to use a muzzleloader nor how to be accurate with it. My father passed when I was 11 and grandfather when I was 9 so I never got that lesson passed down to me. My mother sold their rifles off long ago. That being said my friend got some rifles from his uncle and they...
