forttunately many of the Investarms/Lyman parts close or almost identical to the TC parts. My most accurate target rifle is a Bubbafied Cobble gun Invest stock, Lyman trigger guard Tc perc lock, I have several barrels I made up for it.

When you shot it into the sandbank, did it set on fire the brown paper bag? :grin:

You know, if by chance that little gem doesn't happen to shoot I'd invest a little more in having that barrel freshed out. If a short 50 is dandy for hogs in the tangles, a 54 might be even better. Not saying you need to do it now to "finish" the project, but it's something you can keep in your back pocket for contingencies.
Great job already, and no need to "fix" a problem that doesn't exist.

Hi,
I really believe that you have a mighty fine short range hunting rifle.
It really burns my cookies when I see some jack ass drilling holes all over these muzzleloading barrels to put a stupid scope on it.
And I'm 65+ :stir:
And I can still see......a bit.
To repair your tang, just flatten out the bend a bit, carefully inlet it, put a plug in the old hole ( in the wood ), drill a new hole for the screw.
Now you have a fine lookin' gun especially since you replaced the under rib.
All the best with a fine hog & deer gun!

Nother question??
With 50 grains of powder in that short barrel, don't ya think that the patch and ball might stick out past the end of the barrel?
What is good about it....most likely your deer will be half cooked before you get home.

I like the GUN!
Did I already say that?

Kinda reminds me of an A-10 Warthog. Not much in the looks department but tough as nails and has one hellofa bite.
