Default Finally did it. Good deal?

After a few years of debating if I wanted to get into muzzleloading I finally pulled the trigger so to speak. I think it was a good deal.


Went to the pawn shop yesterday just to check out what they had, and came away with a T/C Black diamond. It looked good at the shop, but when I got it home and pulled the plug it looks like it was never even shot. Not a mark on the rifle anywhere. Came with all the paperwork, various tools, all three nipples, and I even got them to throw in a sling.....all for $100.

It is the shorter barrel model, but I will be using it more for hunting than for range shooting and rarely have a shot over 100 yards anyways so I don't mind the loss of a little range and will appreciate the lighter weight.


SO....another new (ML)shooter with more dumb questions

Congrats on the buy! Welcome to the club. I dont know anything about that gun, but for $100, It sounds like a good deal to me.

If you got the Black Diamond that is the shorter model, the Black Diamond XR is the longer model. Cayugad one of forum members has a Black Diamond and has tons of experinace with one. He is a fountain on information and can help you abunch if you have questions.

If it shoots as good as you claim it looks you got a great deal. I was like you but, I waited a hell of a lot longer than a few years to see the light....I've been deer hunting roughly 25 years and I got my first muzzleloader 2 years ago and have taken four deer with it. I bought my second one Spring of "08". Should have started a long time ago. I'll probably never buy another shotgun slug.

Those BDs are shooters. $100 for all that is a great deal. Especially one that's been taken care of.

Welcome to the addiction
