Tick Licker photos

[exarcher]

Got my Rice 45 cal barrel back from blueing & on the rifle.. Named it "tick licker" from my favorite tv show when i was a kid in the 60's,, "Daniel Boone" (played by Fess Parker)... It's an 18 twist .449 bore.. ( it may be right at .450 as a .449 paper patch fits kind of tight,, sized to .448 fits perfect). Hope to shoot it by the weekend with the 500 grain buffalo arms lead cup based paper patch bullet.. The blue/black is more like chrome! it is pretty... not extremely traditional, but neither is the laminated stock.. Blueing cost $145 & the engraving another (just under $50).. by Scotty's gunsmithing in Joelton, Tn. I'll try to get a better photo outside soon as its nice & sunny!

Should be a good shooter for you.

i should have put my brass ramrod in the holder for a better contrast in the photo (even though its much too short to use)

That is one slick looking sidelock.

Nice, it's gonna reach out and touch something fiercely.

i had to take her outside for a few photos in the sun... Scotty sure polished it up more than i was expecting! looks nice but fingerprints up easy..

did you buy that "new old stock" one that was on GB?? It should hold its value just fine,, mine has a couple good dents in it from whomever had it before me, if you got the one i'm thinking of Congratulations,, you will love it!

No sir, I bought this one off another message board and paid about half what the guy wants on GB. The guy said it has a few hunting dings but is supposed to be in pretty good shape.

wondering,,, glad you hear you got a good deal!! The one on gb disappeared from my watch list so it was withdrawn or sold.,, i've only seen 2 now in the last 4 yrs.. so they are quite scarce. it is a good stock!

I too have a laminate stocked T/C Hawken.
Mine is a .50 cal and has a T/C aperture sight.
She's EXTREMELY accurate too. Shot very well at 200 yards. Other than my repop P53 Enfield, this is my " Bury with me" sidelock.
It's also the best fit/ finish Hawken I've ever seen.
