When I first decided to branch off in this direction I was checking out the specials page on the Traditions web site. They had a .54 cal. Deerhunter percussion kit for 170 dollars. The next day it was removed from their specials page and I was informed by customer service that it was no longer available. I found one on another site the next day for 230 dollars and was waiting until tomorrow for the funds to purchase it to be put in the bank. I checked today to see if it was still available and it was no longer there. I can't find one anywhere. I really liked the rifle because it has an adjustable sear screw in the lock. Also because the barrel is drilled and tapped for a scope. I started looking at Lyman's today but the price of them is a little out of my league. I guess if I still want to pursue this avenue I will probably have to go with the Green Mountain replacement barrel. I haven't hunted with or even fired my old Thompson Center Hawkins in a few years now because I have pretty much retired her. She has served me well in the past so I guess I'll get a .54 caliber barrel for her from Green mountain and knock the dust off of her and give her new life.
By the way, If anyone knows where I can purchase the Traditions Deerhunter kit in .54 caliber I would love to hear about it
