I must like TC's...

[Confederate rifleman]

Currently I have... several.
.50 Thunderhawk
.50 Firehawk
2 .50 Omegas ( one a Z5)
.50 Factory laminate Hawken, percussion
2 .54 flintlock Renegades
And now, a .50 flintlock Pennsylvania Hunter
Suddenly, for being an unrepentant inliner, I'm awash in FLINTLOCKS?! My my my...
All my girls are rescues of one type or another. Either not being put to good ( or any) use, the Hawken, Thunderhawk and stainless Omega, or saved from improper (or lack of) maintenance. Those being the Firehawk, Z5, both Renegades and the Pennsylvania Hunter.
Hey! I have an idea! How about a rescue shelter for muzzleloaders? Get 'em up to date on their shots. Get 'em fixed, especially the flintlocks! Promiscuous things... and get them good " forever homes"!
Right... Just a thought.

Nice looking collection. I only ever owned 2 TC'S. A 54 Renegade caplock and a 50 caliber Black Mountain Magnum.
They were both good shooters, sorry that I ever parted with them.

 

[Smyrnagc]

Would you be interested in selling the Hawken?

 

[Confederate rifleman]

Sorry, but no. Thought about it awhile back, but the factory laminates are the rarest of the rare.
She's a great shooter. Got 2 deer with her last year.

 

[Smyrnagc]

I don’t blame you. Been looking for one for awhile.

 

[Confederate rifleman]

I wasn't looking for this one. But I walked into a shop I rarely visit because if it isn't a semi auto, they could care less. To each his own.
But I spotted it on the wall and though it was an RMC Accu Sporter. Nope, a TC Hawken. Laminated stock? No such critter thinks I. The lock was wonky and the set triggers didn't. But she just looked SO good...
Went home and she burned a hole in my brain all night.
Next morning, cash, cleaning rod and flashlight in hand, I returned.
There was something in the bore. Not a load, as it turned out, it was packing material. Unfired? They wanted $325. I pointed out the lock, triggers and bore and offered $250 o.t.d.
Done.
Got her home, spent an hour squaring her away. THEN I did some research...
Oh my! A fella at Coyote Creek Outfitters, used to be a TC gunsmith, almost dropped the phone when I told him what I had. We went over some details and it turns out she is one of the prototypes. He said he'd only seen one in the " Altar". Their model room I guess.
The BEST part, I bought her on December 13th 2019. FRIDAY December 13th...

I remember back when you got that laminated T/C Hawken. You were happy, happy, happy when you found out it was the real deal. Made a lot of folks, including myself, envious. Congrats on being in the right place at the right time.

 

[Confederate rifleman]

Thanks! Its the finest people who can rejoice with another in their good fortune.

 

[edmehlig]

Mark, you have ONE FINE collection of ML's! God has certainly blessed you! GRIN

 

[JIMYJAC]

Certainly a nice collection. Enjoy!

Thanks! Its the finest people who can rejoice with another in their good fortune.

With only the slightest hint of jealousy…

 

[Confederate rifleman]

Thanks all!
Tomorrow is the opener of our antlerless deer/ bear muzzleloader season. Fingers crossed for a dirty rifle and bloody knife.

That's the best looking chair in the house !

 

[Confederate rifleman]

It is right COMFY!

 

[rangerod]

I currently have four T/C 's. A pair of Triumphs, Z5 Omega, and a twenty inch barreled White Mountain carbine with 1in20 twist. The Omega's going out with the Lyman Deerstalker both 50 cal. Honestly at the range I have more fun with sidelock guns then anything. Was going to hunt last year with the Z5 but had health problems. In good shape this year. Season begins tomorrow.

 

[Confederate rifleman]

Yup! Beer season! Bear + deer... Beer!

Your just getting started. I have over a dozen Renegades supporting different barrels from 32 to 58, two Hawkens, six New Englanders ( which I use in a 4H training program ), two Senecas 36 and 45), one 32 Cherokee, one 45 Patriot, 2 Scouts (50 and 54) and one Express rifle. I didn't take a physical inventory so I may have missed some. I think it borders on addiction.

 

[Confederate rifleman]

Sounds like an addiction to me! There are worse ones to have...
TCs Anonymous???

If I’d own them they would be sleeping with me like I had to do a couple times in boot camp at Paris Island!

 

[Denney84]

Awesome collection! I'm up to 3 hawkens so far. 2 54s and a 50. My little brother has a 45. Going to slowly add to the collection when I can!
