What are your favorite Thompson Center (T/C) Percussion guns?

[snakebit]

Yeah I saw them on other smaller auction sites

And I just saw these posts here... I wanted to make a thread to buy one but looks like it has to be on the modern ML forum instead

Well, I guess there has to be lines drawn somewhere. I may join over there too and see if I can find one. I remember reading somewhere there was a fire at the factory, so there weren't a whole lot of them to be put in circulation.

The only TC that I like is my Patriot in 45

 

[Flintleather]

54 Renegade and Flint Pennsylvania. I wish the Renegade had a lil more drop in the stock like the Penn.

 

[2 shots]

favorite would be my 12 gauge new englander.

I only have one T/C Hawken, .45 calibre caplock. It was my starter rifle, the one that lead me to the dark side. Flintlocks.

 

[COTNTOP]

PA HUNTER

 

[Duk]

Mine would be Hawken 50 cal flint and Hawken 50 cL custom

 

[Gtrubicon]

The only TC I own are both Cherokee’s. 36 and 45, so I guess the Cherokee is my favorite!

 

[swoter]

Right now it’s the Pennsylvania Hunter, and New Englander. I like shotgun style butt plate and single trigger. I need to pick up a Renegade and a White Mountain carbine. I have a Hawken, but rarely shoot it.

My Cherokee in .45 caliber is the only one I have but working on getting a Hawken in .54 caliber.

 

[snakebit]

My Cherokee in .45 caliber is the only one I have but working on getting a Hawken in .56 caliber

I bet that old girl shoots like a dream.

. I was actually surprised with how good a group is makes when you get the right load and ball combination! I got the fever and need more muzzle loaders! LOL

I really dig my .50 caliber Renegades. I have four of them. Two have Green Mountain barrels with 1-28” twist. The other two are factory 1-48” twist. I also have a .50 cal White Mountain Carbine with a 1-20” twist that I am refurbishing.

I like squirrel hunting with mine from time to time.

I have the same bag, however I got an even smaller one to put around my waist like a fanny pack,ç when I'm actually hunting and now use the bigger bag to keep extra supplies in. In the smaller bag I only keep what is necessary to fire the gun.
Cards, caps, shot measure, shot and powder flask. I buy 110gr spouts and the cut them to length based on the load I have for specific game....dove load, duck....that's what I use for my sxs anyway. Want to replace the plastic bottle with a shot pouch. I wear it behind my back and then spin it around to the front to load. It even has a place for a water bottle. May not be "traditional" but if they were available back then, they would used them.

 

[Rebel bull]

renegade's and Seneca's all with custom shop round ball barrels and the smoothbore and then I have the scout for in the woods tracking

You bet they would. I generally just take a few pre charged speed loaders and keep the big pocket to put dead squirrels in. I usually will only kill one or two, and eat them the same or next day since I'm the only one that eats them at my house.

I like my Seneca .45 with light rb loads.Hawken with .50 Green Mountain LRH barrel for conicals.

 

[Cliffdweller]

I like the treehawk (so ugly I can’t help but like it) and the .56 SB renegade.

Ha, I was going to say the exact same as you , until I read your response. I have both the 12g and .50 barrels for my tree hawk and I like the .56 for its versatility of either shot or RB
