    Thompson Center Bought from S&W

    I heard what Ritz said on the facebook post this morning and I am hopeful they bring back sidelocks and flintlocks! Trying to be optomistic!

    PA 2023 Flintlock season

    Got lucky on Thursday morning around 8:15am this buck came in from 100 yards out directly downwind idk how he didn't smell me but he didn't. He turned broadside at 20 yards and I couldn't pass him up with my Lyman Deerstalker. .54 cal! I passed several other larger bucks in bow and rifle but...

    Lyman Deerstalker 100 yard Accuracy Achieved

    That is a lot better shooting that I can get with my .54 Deerstalker! Good shooting! I'm sure the gun is capable...I am not great on targets as far as grouping/cloverleaf shots but I am a pretty good shot on deer!

    Muzzle velocity Hawken vs Longrifle

    I have a Lyman Deerstalker in .54 flint and I picked up a TC Hawken .54 flinter this summer. Shooting at some steel I have the Hawken puts a much more considerable dent in the steel than the Lyman. Both with PRB and 70 grains of FFF. 24" barrel on Lyman and 28" on TC. Thought that was...

    Looking to get my first flintlock rifle

    I picked up a .54 TC Hawken recently and I love it. I have been shooting and hunting with a .54 Lyman Deerstalker for the last 5 years I bought new. I think the 42 year old TC is actually a better shooting gun than my Lyman. As of now I have no interest in a Kibler or other custom gun...

    Hawken auction

    I had that same thought...he would have kept bidding higher. Thanks for your response. I have always liked the way they look and could care less about authenticity and not being a "real/true" Hawken at least at this point. Perhaps someday I will want a more authentic Hawken.

    Hawken auction

    Thanks man like I said I've really had my eye on a Hawken. I got a Deerstalker about 5 years ago to hunt PA's flintlock season and I've really enjoyed it and the challenge of shooting a flinter. You could say I've been bitten by the bug! haha

    Hawken auction

    Thanks bud the QLA system TC developed later in their line ups. The last inch or two of the barrel is smooth to ease starting a load then the rest of the barrel is rifled. I've heard many say it does aid in starting a load and doesn't effect accuracy but I was interested in the fact that it...

    Hawken auction

    Kind of regret not bidding a bit higher after looking at replacement parts/stocks I would need. Also could practice faux striping cracked stock. Oh well I'll get em next time.

    Hawken auction

    So I have been watching and was highest bidder on what looked like an older TC Hawken flinter .50 cal. Low serial number, said Cal 50" "M" stamped on barrel, no QLA and seemed to be in great condition. I was prepared to go $5-600. The auction was yesterday. Upon arriving I went straight to...

    She's done

    Looks awesome! I'm currently highest bidder on an older .50 TC Hawken at an auction that takes place Tuesday. Hoping I get it! If so I think I'll do something similar!

    Did the unthinkable to my GPR but I love it!

    This does look awesome however I posted recently about wanting to tiger stripe my Deer Stalker and many said not to burn...to paint or dye. But again, the guns striped in this post look amazing!
