RE: thompson center hawken
Here is how Thompson Center explaines it.,
13: I've heard about T/C's new QLA® Muzzle System. What exactly is it? T/C's QLA® Muzzle System (Quick, Load, Accurizor) is basicly a built in "false muzzle". Many old time target shooters used to attach a false muzzle to their rifle barrel for loading purposes, to guarantee precise alignment of the projectile during the loading procedure. They would then remove the "false muzzle" prior to shooting. The "false muzzle" also protected the rifling from being damaged or worn during loading. T/C's QLA® Muzzle is built right into the end of the barrel in all of our rifles permanently. It guarantees consistent alignment of your projectile in that its surrounded by steel for 360 degrees prior to being driven down the bore and engraved with the rifling. The projectile can't tilt, and the shape can't be altered (lead is soft) as it is started down the bore. This consistent alignment from shot to shot greatly improves the accuracy potential of the rifle by eliminating one of the variable associated with good accuracy... projectile alignment. T/C's QLA® Muzzle System also makes loading your second shot in the field much easier. You merely drop the projectile in the barrel and go straight to your ramrod, using short strokes. It eliminates the hassle of trying to align the projectile with one hand, and drive it into the rifling with a short starter. |

But you give up another inch of rifling in the process, and if you don't shoot conicals exclusively then it's a waste.
Patched round ballscan be difficult to load as the ball & patch drop loosely down into the QLA, sometimes moving off the patch. There is probably not much of a bigger TC fan than I am, however, I will say that the QLA wasa marketing ploy to try and keep attention on their flagging sales oftraditional muzzleloaders becauseeveryone was leaving them and going to other manufacturer's inlines asTC wasn't up to speed yet on inline production. And consider this...companies copy each other to a huge extent...how many othercompanies have added false muzzles? None. I've shot TC maxi-hunters out of TC Hawkens on and off for 15+ years and never had a problem loading them in the first place...I owned one .54cal TC Hawken barrel with a QLA and gotrid of it after the first range session...wouldn't have another one. My .02 cents... |

Roundball, I think you meant to type sabot loads vs conicals in "shoot conicals exclusively".
Conical shooters have no need of a QLA. |

RE: thompson center hawken
I cannot believe the T/C Hawkens now comes with a QLA System. There goes a little more traditionalism from that fine firearm.
What's next .... composite stock sporting all that brass & patch box ...lol??? ;) |
