Hey y'all,

I am new to hunting with a muzzleloader. I recently inherited an old thompson center hawken. It could use a new nipple and some new sights. Any idea what size nipple I need and what truglo or similar sights would fit it?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forum. Post your questions in the sidelock traditional section, im sure someone there will be able to help you.

Welcome. If new to M-L pay attention to the cleaning requirements. One can't set a dirty M-L down long before rust gets a start. If you have someone nearby that's well versed, it's a great way to speed things up.

Are you mostly looking to extend deer season? What State? Individual State regulations vary of course, with what's allowed during a M-L hunt.

If in a permissive State think about a more modern inline, before you put much $$ into the 'free' sidelock. Of course it will work, again, just depending on what you want to do.
