    Green mountain barrel

    Hawk driver is correct. The ramrod is sticking out a tad bit, but I am going to make my own one so that isn't to much of a concern for me. Other than that the little beauty fell right in. They are hard to find I have been looking for 8 years for one and I got mine from pecotonic river long rifle...

    Green mountain barrel

    So after waiting 8 years I finally got a 58 cal green mountain barrel drop in for my hawken. One question that I do have is if anyone knows why there is a taped hole on the top of the breech plug? It is the same size and threads as the sight holes. Is this where a special tang sight goes...

    Barrels

    I have been looking at the Oregon Barrels to, but never have heard any reviews. It seems people like them, now if anyone has one of the drop in models that can give opinions on it that would be great.

    Barrels

    Went looking for a GM drop in barrel in 58, but it is discontinued for the next year. Being an impatient person (been waiting 6 years to get mine) I have decided to piece male it together through either Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply or Track of the Wolf using their gunsmithing services. So...

    Fur/Pelt friendly caliber?

    Be interested to here about your results. Have been toying with the .36 cal maxi ball route. Know it isn't "traditional", but thought that it would keep holes small while providing enough oomff to bring them down quickly. Also saw a more modern route to that to....just dunno if I want 36 cal...

    Fur/Pelt friendly caliber?

    Wasn't to worried about the entry/exit hole, figured .36 or .40 is better then .58 at least on the foxes and bobcats. :wink: Just looking at if one of the two could do it without to much damage. Leaning towards the .36 over the .40, thoughts on if this is a good direction? Don't have much...

I love hunting with my .58 Hawken and I have been running into some really good fur bearing animals, and was curious if anyone has a suggestion of a fur/pelt friendly cal. since I want to start getting some pelts...

    going from 15/16 to 1 inch

    Hi. I was curious if it is possible to modify a T/C Hawken 15/16 stock to a 1 inch stock? And what the process would be. I know I would have to at least buy a new tang, but I am stumped after that. Thanks.

    TOTW Bridger Hawken

    Is the TOTW Bridger Hawken kit an authentic replica of a Hawken? Thought I saw a discussion about it here somewhere but can't find it. Was looking at getting one. Always wanted an authentic looking Hawken.

    Will lock fit?

    Re-bore a Lymans GPP

    12 gauge barrel for a renegade?

    Doesn't a gentleman by the name of Ed Rayl (think that is right) rebore TC barrels? I believe one of the other forum members has a barrel or two from him. Wouldn't think it would be to hard to re-bore an old barrel of any caliber to a 12 gauge smooth bore. Then again I could be wrong.

    Re-bore a Lymans GPP

    I have stumbled across an old Lyman .50 cal great plains pistol kit and was wondering if it was possible to have the barrel re-bored to a .58 cal? If I took my measurements right it is 15/16 across the flats. I would even be fine with it being a smooth bore .58 if that would be a safer way.

    Looking for a GM .58 Barrel

    Been looking for one for a spell myself( I blame ol' Mr. Roundball for this new obsession for a 58 :wink: ) and also ran into the same dead ends. So I e-mailed GM about 2 weeks ago and they said that they are making them and will be available for sale in a couple of months. Hmmmm time to start...

    Good deal a Renegade?

    So I bit the bullet (or roundball per say :haha: ) and went back to the store and the Renegade was still there, and they said I could put it on layaway! So no denying fate. She's now in their layaway storage waiting for her new and very excited owner to get the cash to set her free.

    Good deal a Renegade?

    Was just at the local gun shop and saw a used .50 cal. Renegade there for 175. I believe it is an older kit because of the serial number on the barrel -KXX66- There is a little surface rust on the barrel and tang. Double set trigger works well, with a little green corrosion in the hammer. The...

    Question on TC Firestorm Barrel

    Thank you. So I guess it is slightly taper then. Hmmm or I wonder if that is considered a straight contour?
