TC hardware

[tiger955]

I recall seeing somewhere a while back a steel hardware kit for a TC Hawken but haven't been able to find it lately. I have a flinter with a GM barrel I would like to brown and install steel hardware. Anyone recall who makes/ sells it? I am not crazy about the brass that TC uses and have never liked the trigger guard shape. I have been to the sites of the usual sources (Track, Dixie, Log Cabin) with no luck other than trying individual pieces for fit, one of these, one of those, etc.

Here ya go. Good stuff. They sell the pieces (and more) individually too.

Many thanks BB, that's what I was looking for. :thumbsup:

I've got a set that includes the patchbox. Only problem is that the patchbox is only about 1/4 the thickness of the brass one. L3eaves alot of buttstock to be removed (maybe some buttplate side too).

Is it possile to build up the inletted depth with some type of filler to the correct height? Sounds simpler, don't know if in fact it is.... :idunno:

Sounds right to me, but I'm guessing. Especially for heavier recoil, I sure wouldn't want the butt any narrower in any case. With heavy loads from either my 58 or 62 cal GM barrels, recoil can become "enthusiastic." :grin:

I have considered that a filler could be put in the inlet. I would want some close matching wood. Would not be difficult. Just describing the hardware that I have. I do not know if all of the offerings are like mine. Trying to keep another shooter from being suprised :v

i don't believe the patchbox is included or even available anymore. for what it's worth and luck friend, bubba.

I was looking on the Hawken Shop site and the patchbox is not included in the kit, nor is one that will match the TC inletting available that I found. I think it would look funny with a browned steel butt plate and a brass patchbox, but I think I can find a slightly larger one that would look ok and inlet it in.
On second thought, looking at it now, a larger patch box on that stock would not look right.

From The Hawken Shop. I have seen a Rifle on here with it installed. Looked good to me.

The kit from The Hawken Shop is for a TC Hawken has a nose cap made to fit a 1" barrel. called and asked. The kit from Dixie Gun Works has a nose cap that is supposed to be for a 15/16" barrel.

That's good info.

The original Hawken Shop steel T/C hardware did not come with a patchbox according to thier #2 catalog. The steel patchbox I have fits the T/C patchbox very well! I will post a picture if I can get a little time this evening to click and load. I don't know where the steel patchbox originated.

 

[Bruce Bogart]

OK I hope these show up well enough. The nose cap is a 15/16" and I am realizing that the patchbox is a "custom" built. I still see some layout lines (faint scratches) and soldered on lugs for the lid to attach to, but fits well.

Sorry about the other rifle showing up in the picture. Workbench is crowded and my photography skills ..... well thats another story altogether :idunno:

 

[tiger955]

Robert, I DO like that patchbox!
Thanks all for all the info, looks like I am good to go. :hatsoff:

Here's an update on those aftermarket parts. They take some work to get a good fit as they are just about a drop in replacement, but not quite :idunno:
