    Unplugging patent breech? Loaded rifle…

    I've found on my T/C that I can take a slotted tip in the .30 cal range from my cleaning kit, stick a cotton cleaning patch through about halfway, and fold the remainder of the patch over the rounded end of the tool to clean out the breech. Seems to work famously on my rifle.

    TRAPLINE PISTOL

    Aside from dispatching critters in traps and the occasional feisty critter, I'm more concerned about the two legged critters I may encounter. On the other hand, anyone with ill intent that sees you carrying a pistol or revolver may see your sidearm and say something to the effect of "that guy...

    Why are smokepoles so awesome?

    My favorite part about it is when I take my T/C Hawken to the range. There's a diverse group of folks there. Mostly modern sporting rifle shooters, with a few precision rifle shooters, a few handgunners, and then there's me all the way at the downwind end of the benches. When the cap snaps, the...

    Why are smokepoles so awesome?

    That is a dang good answer. I too believe that there are way too many people trying to buy their way into performance and trying to avoid the learning curve of becoming a true rifleman or archer.

    Why are smokepoles so awesome?

    In your opinions, what is it about fielding a traditional muzzleloader that adds so much thrill and makes an outing so much more meaningful?

    Boiled Linseed Oil Finish?

    I'm considering building the Traditions Deluxe Kentucky Rifle Kit. I'm familiar with simple hand rubbed oil finishes on stocks but want some input on other finishes I should consider. Also, should I go blued or browned on bare metal parts and why should I go that way? This will be my first build...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I took my T/C Hawken to the range to dial it in and practice for elk season. Got it dead on at 100 yards and shot my friend's 6" steel gong target. We would have stayed longer but there were some yahoos with AR-style rifles and handguns that had terrible muzzle discipline and a complete lack of...

    New to the smokepole game

    Now the backstory on how I got the Hawken from my dad. He got it probably 25 years ago in a deal where he bought several guns from a guy and the seller threw it in to sweeten the deal. It came with all the accoutrements in a nice wood box but he never shot it. Never got into black powder. I put...

    New to the smokepole game

    Hello. I procured a T/C "Hawken" from my father and I've been playing around with it. So far its been a great time and a fun experience. I've looked around the forum for some months now and decided to join and be a supporting member. I'm glad to have this forum as a resource.
