new toy
An old gun shop in town looked like it got a makeover so I dropped in for a look around. I hadn't been in there in years. Figured they were headed for extinction. Wow nice new interior and they even had some ML stuff so I started looking around some more. I noticed a side hammer gun in the rack and checked it out. TC Hawken 54, 1" barrel, 32"twist? I checked it out with the rod and 1/4 turn in 8" =32. It was used but only the brass was a little dark everything else was good. The bore perfect, The hammer totally smooth on the bottom. I don't think it was used much. $275 CDN took it home. I figure 32 might be a little fast for round ball but sabots and conicals should go OK.
