    I agree with you , the dull brass gives it a nice antique look .

    Thanks Jerell, I was given one of these rifles recently. I am cleaning it up and sure appreciate your show. I have an elk hunt in Dec. and may use this new rifle. Yep we just can't get along very well. Greetings from New Mexico

    Did you notice that most of the screw heads are oriented inline with the rifle? Its a small detail, but shows the care of the maker.

    and some of my other videos ive got a wide variety of videos

      Yep they are high these days. I got mine in a local gun shot/ pawnshop. And the price was really reasonable. I wanted a 54 cal but had to settle for a 50. Thanks for watching. 👍👍

    Yes please . I asked for such a video long ago . I agree with you about light triggers . I have a 54 cal T.C. Hawken . I shoot T.C. maxi bullets . They weigh 425 grains . 110 grains of Goex ff . So I guess that makes it a 54-110-425 . It is a caplock . It likes CCI #11 magnum caps .

    • @JBDRLSOARK
      @JBDRLSOARK  Рік тому +1

      I saw some of those CCI #11 magnum caps at the store the other day and they were priced at $14.99 for a tin . I guess if a guy is just starting out and don’t know any better it wouldn’t matter . But to us old timers it’s hard to pay those prices. Once they raise the prices they never go back down.

      I’m glad to hear from a fan of the black powder firearms. I love to shoot them also. I have several and some cap & ball revolvers. Unfortunately not many of my subscribers like them. I think it’s just because they haven’t tried them. Oh well they don’t know what they’re missing.

      Different places . I found some at Walmart and some at the local gun shop. I’m always on the look out for such stuff. I’ve heard that Midway USA had some at one time but I don’t like paying the shipping and the hazmat fee. But I will say it’s getting harder to find shooting supplies and I believe that’s part of the plan. Thanks for watching 👍👍
