TC Hawken barrel condition

[Trooper]

I have a renegade thats in far worse condition and I think replaceing that boat anchor would be the way to go.
Looking at these pics, I wonder if there are any companies making replacement barrels for our TC sidelocks.

Oregon barrel company. You can make them yourself but the parts will cost almost as much as buying one.

I bought one locally just as bad if not worse. Cleaned up decent enough, but I ended up needing to soak in ATF and boil the breech area of the barrel to get the nipple to release.

Rice Barrel company. Jason is the man.

I always figured the first inch or so in front of the breechplug wasn't too important. Just where the powder ignites. The ball and patch will never go there. But from there to the muzzle, barrel should be shiny with sharp rifling for best results.

My second-hand T/C bore looks a lot like than and it shoots great. Give it a good cleaning according to some of the methods mentioned above and I'm sure you'll be happy with how it shoots.

@tallPercshooter, if the bore is pitted where the patched ball is sitting, the ignition will shred the patch before the ball is contacting the barrel and accuracy will be lost. I've seen barrels go from being tack drivers to pattern makers when the pitting gets too deep at the breech. The only solution is to cut off the bad section and rebreech the barrel. Works best with a straight barrel as the pins through the barrel lugs have to be moved. Often the sights have to be moved as well. One of the club member's rifle had evidence of sights and barrel lugs being on three different flats from rebreeching.
