cool, thanks for the help guys. Gun works well (never had a safety problem with it). I took it apart and put it together last week when i was at home. tested the safety (had no problem with it).
it's a in-line .50 cal. I was shooting 3 of the 50 gr powder sticks using sabots and round balls. at some point, i'd like to get a Hawken or something like that. eventually, i'd like to get a TC Encore or some other nicer model. If any of you guys happens to have said used Hawken and are looking to get rid of it, i'd love to take it off your hands...... for proper compensation of course.
