.36 cal.

[alaska viking]

I have been trying to find a small bore in-line. Have been following the .32 thread, but that may, or may not, come to pass.
I can't seem to find much on a .36, other than flintlocks, or percussions. Is there no such thing as a small bore in-line?

 

[rangerod]

Currently there is no small bore inline in production.

Like said, not at the moment. At one time Knight did make a few LK-93's in .36cal and I think a few BK's in .36 cal. I have one of the LKs in .36. Every once in a while you will see a TC Fire Hawk or System One in 32cal on Gun broker. Other than that you would have to build one. That can be as expensive or as inexpensive as you want depending on action type and how much you can do yourself. My .32 inline is built on a plunger action and was not that bad on cost but I did do a lot of work on it myself. In one of the treads I think we posted links to most of them done so far. The Shop that built mine liked it so much they built 2 more just like it but in .40 caliber for themselves. They would do one for you in .36 I'm sure.

It sure would be nice if Traditions would tell us if the will build one for us or not. I've been waiting as well and had planned another build but holding off till I see where that goes. Guess those wheels turn pretty slow.

You are right about those slow turning wheels. Its possible that Traditions hasn't made a decision yet. Since we haven't heard from muzzle-loader in a while it makes me wonder. Maybe they decided to bag the idea. I've said it before I believe the market would be substantial. If Traditions made a real good inline .32 they'd have the market all to themselves.

I know it's a old thread but does someone have a pick of a lk93-36 cal ?

 

[pjsoden]

ShawnT has mY old .36. He will probably post some pics. It really just looks like every other LK, just has a heavier barrel.

 

[dbowling]

heres one in walnut mk-85stock. I have the old boat paddle stock also.

Yup and still have it. Was thinking of restocking it with a wood stock too. i seem to remember the barrel is like 21 3/4 or 22" long and like Dean said they are a bull barrel. Like in a 50cal barrel blank with a 36 cal bore.

This is mine,

 

[muzzlestuffer]

Nice how does it shoot ?

 

[ShawnT]

Have not shot mine in a couple years and found this was the only pic I had. I have never shot conical in it but have been thinking about it, just sabots. I found a heavy Knurl on some 100gn XTPs shot very good.

 

[muzzlestuffer]

Pretty stout load ?

 

[ShawnT]

If I remember right it was nothing too bad since it is a sabot and only 100gn bullet, not like shooting a 50 cal with 300gn bullets and 120gnV of BH.
The rifle is a little heavy so it takes it good. I shot some lighter but that was the best. Could most likely shoot a lot less with conical, but I have never got too that. I think the bore is a little large on this one and sabots load fairly easy, The heavy knurl helped. Been a couple years since I had it out. Was thinking of working with it this year but might have to hold off.

 

[pjsoden]

If I remember correctly, it shot conicals the best with 45 grains of 3f.

I have a TC System 1 in .32 (and others). .50. .54, .58, 12 ga. Never found a .36 barrel for it.

Me too. The 32 barrel is a favorite for plinking and off-hand practice, haven't shot the 58 yet.

I have a TC Firehawk in 32 light weight and shoots well.

Hello David42

What's your load?
Thanks for your help.

Pretty cool. I've had a T Hawk & F Hawk when they came out, both in .50. I like the stock you have too. Did you have that barrel made or sleeve the orig? What twist ?
I've been thinkin bout gettin a .32 or .36 for PRB. I found a CVA sidelock for sale in .32 & a TC Cherokee in .32. The TC is twice the price as the CVA.
Perhaps another Omega in .32 will be in order.

 

[dbowling]

believe the Firehawk was made in .32 for a bit back in the 90s.
