Subject: T/C Part Question



Are any T/C parts made by Investarms?

Harley engine parts are not made in Brazil.

[Dryball]

Enough on the subject of where T.C.s are made. Please stick to the question of what your favorite make of rifle is. Thanks.

I am sure we have all owned several different makes, models and if you think back on each after you bought them..

I have owned several, pedersoli, richland, armi san marcos, tc, investarms, jukar, cva, lyman, traditions, uberti, Ruger old army. and i can say i found something to like about each and every one.

Uberti has a much richer blue than richland, cva or traditions pistols, traditions cost less, cva was good shooter, but didn't like the logo stamped in the revolver frame, some had a better fit, some had a better trigger, ruger didn't feel right..

Pedersoli tryon, was a tack driver from a clean barrel, pillowticking, and patch .490 ball would make 1 jagged hole at 50 yds, but it was only rated for not more than 90 gr of powder, my tc is rated for more, but haven't found the sweet load for it.

I have been known to swing from liking brass furniture, to black, but have always liked color case hardened furniture.

Harley holds its value, Honda runs forever... 1976 harley (owned it from 91-94) had to work on it all week to ride it on weekend, 1976 cb750f, (owned it from 98-03)honda gas it and go.

Ford, Chevy, Jeep, they all make a good product, and each fills a certain niche.

Every now and then you get a lemon, but on average they are all of decent quality, or they would not have been in business for so long.

AT THIS TIME i am liking my T/C hawken, and want the new case hardened remington cabelas sells..

My .50 is a T-C Hawken I built from a kit in the late 70's.  It began as a flintlock but my desires changed so I bought a T-C percussion lock, made a drum to fit the flint vent hole, installed a nipple and haven't looked back.  Over the years I made changes, swapped a friend the brass furnishings off my Hawken for the steel ones off his Renegade,  fitted an iron buttplate, poured a pewter nose cap, sawed and filed my own front sight out of a piece of 1/2" key stock, put in some brass tacks just fer perty.   I've even gotten into arguments with various "Museum Curators"  who seem to know a great deal more about a rifle I built than I do.

I had a Lyman GPR, didn't like it, it felt funny to me.  Same with a Cabela's Hawken, just didn't feel right.   I now have a T-C Seneca which had a bad bore so I had it reamed to .50 smooth, and am currently making up a .40 drop-in out of a G-R barrel.  I bought the barrel from TOW and had them breech it with their t-c compatible plug.  Not expensive at all.  Once the Seneca's .40 barrel is all done and browned I think it will go to the front of the line.  I'm getting old, arthritic and stove up and that small caliber lightweight rifle fits my situation very well.

THANK YOU!!!

I was begining to think i was the only one who bought a gun for it's looks, but later got rid of it because it didn't "feel right".  No matter how much you tried to like it...

  I like the CVA, Traditions, and Dikars I have. I am working on getting a TC Hawken kit later this summer. I also like my oddball--I have an old Numrich Arms .45 Swivel Breech. I love it but the mainspring broke and I have not been able to find a replacement and did make one but I have not been able to get the temper right on it. Its easier to correctly temper a knife, hawk, striker or frizzen than this spring. The CVA's-1 Kentucky, 1 Hawkin, The Traditins-1 Pennsylvania flintlock, Dikar-1 Pennsylvania, 1 .45 Philadelphia Derringer.
Love em all.   As long as they are a traditional wood stocked- side lock M/L. they are my kinda gun.

If I had a son...I'd hope he'd be like you.

  Quigley,
I am up for adoption. My X-wife tried to give me back to my mother but she didnt want me either.

Of the ones I've owned and speaking ONLY of quality, the Pedersolis are good and their dbl shotguns are superb.  The best made and my favorite flint rifle is by Matt Avance at TVM, hands down.  My favorite Cap gun is a marvelous US M1841, Mississippi rifle in .the original .54 caliber.  I bought from Jarnigans in Ms. and it was imported by Euroarms.  Not really sure who built it but it is custom quality in fit, finish and accuracy.

I prefer my own because most off the shelf rifles do not fit me well.  The only off the shelf that fits me is an Umberti Santa Fe.  I do recommend the GPH for new people coming in.

[Red Badger]

Mine for right now is the new Traditions i just got!  Thanks DB! 

I'm sure it will change when I get the TVM... but thats a couple of months down the road....
