TC Senica??

[Sekiar]

I know someone here can tell me if my TC is actually a Senica. No where, that I can see, is the name Senica on the barrel. It is a .36 caliber with set triggers and a joy to shoot. I purchased it sever years ago in a local pawn shop thinking that it was a Senica, however after searching here I'm not sure if it is a Senica or a Cherokee...doesn't matter either way just curious. Been pulling out a number of my muzzleloaders from the safe wher most have set unused for way too long so may have a few more ?? later on. Way back when I hunted I killed three squirrels with one of my H&A .45 caliber underhammer guns and that was back in about 1963. I've have shot a lot of guns since then but mostly modern smokeless ones. But that is going to change right now. Thanks, Charles in NW Arkansas.

Welcome back from the dark side Sekiar! Senecas had patchboxes while Cherokees did not. Hope this helps. Glad to hear you are dusting off your frontstuffers. :thumbsup:

Send me an email and I will email you a picture of a Seneca Rifle. I have a Seneca in 36 cal and it is a tack driver with 30grains Goex 3F .018 windex patch and Hornady 000 buckshot .350 dia. I hope that the info helps. My email is [email protected]

o how i wish that t/c still made the seneca, i would buy the .36 and mite even get the .45 cal. it seems like they made a lot but they are so hard to get these days.

the Seneca had a 27 inch barrel and the Cherokee had a 24 inch barrel.
the Seneca also had the patch box.
this is the manual that used to come with the old side locks by TC http://www.tcarms.com/assets/manuals/current/Shooting_TC_Side_Lock_Black_Powder_Guns.pdf hope this helps.
Also show a picture of a hawken that looks like the Seneca.
