bores of my new muzzleloaders
 

best pics I could get with what I had. hopefully you can see what I can see about them.







since I can't find a little night fishing light that will look, guess I will pick up an bore light of sometype

Usually kinda hard to see much in pictures but i can definitely see some SHINE in there!!!!!!!! I'd say so far so good. From what you have told us so far it sounds like the previous owner took really good care of his firearms.

Have you seen anything in the bores that concerns you?

other then I have an patch that I got stuck in one when I was checking the twist, nothing with the bores,

I want to replace the butt plate on the flint. but it can wait. it looks like someone thought it was metal and put some type of harsh cleaning agent on it. it's plastic.

I hate when i get a patch stuck lol.

Did the cleaning agent "eat" the plastic? I wonder how hard it will be to find a new butt plate for it?

after thinking about, I took the butt plate off. it is urethane or some other type of protection. I have butt plate soaking in Blue wolf cleaner cut with water. going to let it set over night and see if it looses it up.

they look good.. way to go.

yeah those look great! Its hard to find them at a gun store in that condition let alone a pawn shop. You got a good deal with those, especially that silver muzzy.
I'd do about 100-150 strokes with JB Bore paste to polish them up good and follow up with a good oil.

Yeah Corey, they look to be in good shape.

I am hoping to get over to my friend's house and got an good look at his tc hawken barrel. if it is anywhere close to mine, he may have to go to jail for theft.

what does an tc hawken go for? with 85% blue, dinged up stock but great finish. and very good bore

I don't know what the Hawken is worth but he definitely made out like a bandit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :barmy:
