I have more than one...they are all TC Hawkens...a very few are percussions in various calibers, but all the rest are Flintlocks in a variety of calibers, barrel twists, most with TC barrels, a few with GM barrels.

But the total number is classified due to the fact that my significant other may read this...

I like T/C's too:

1 Greyhawk .50
2 Black Mountain Magnums both .50 w/spare shotgun barrel
1 T/C Hawken .50
1 Seneca .36
1 Cherokee .32
1 Lyman GPR .54

Also in the 'I' Column:
1 Black Diamond .50 (Got me started in BP)
2 T/C System 1's with a full set of rifle barrels (.32 thru .58) plus scattergun

If inlines count, we're tied.

I was really happy to see a couple of T/C Greyhawks listed. I only have a Greyhawk, a T/C Patriot, and a CVA Bobcat. I hope to add to it. I'm fairly new to shooting (a couple years). How do your Greyhawks compare with the T/C Hawken?

 

[Runner]

You all need to send all of the CVA flinters to me!

 

[jimbo15563]

Not nearly enough. Right now I have a TC Renegade Flintlock and a TC O@$%&! (I) which I'm selling to pay for the underhammer I'm having built. I had a TC Scout, but sold it (wish I had it back). On my wish list are:

A Brass Mowry
A Parker-Hale Whitworth
A Jim Chambers English Gentleman's Sporting Rifle
A 12-bore Alaskan Zephyr

50 cal. gal,
Howzit compare? The Hawken's like a prom queen that causes alot of pain (Proud to have her on my arm but she smacks me in the side of the face whenever I touch her off).

The Greyhawk's a forgiving and comfortable friend. Results are always gratifying, if I do my part. A joy to carry and shoot (if somewhat plain).
Bob

 

[Protrucker]

T/C 12 ga. New Englander

The Hawken's like a prom queen that causes alot of pain (Proud to have her on my arm but she smacks me in the side of the face whenever I touch her off).

Just to add a comment so .50cal Gal doesn't misunderstand...an individual's size and shape creates conditions where a rifle can do this...also, how & where a shooter mounts a rifle can contribute to this...plus the shooting style used such as offhand vs. bench rest, etc, can contribute to this situation.

By contrast, I've shot TC Hawkens for 15 years...have them in .45/.50/.54/.58 calibers and they're a walk in the park for me
:front:

Not tellin'. By me it's braggin'.

Let's face it, you can be a millionaire on the internet.

In any case, my pathetically small collection of only 28,4558 weapons could not possibly interest any of you rich Americans with REAL collections, eh? :kid:
