I saw a big bore Renegade go for $830.00 on Gunbroker lately. That's nuts!

I have got a few cap lock Thompson Centers myself..Maybe Green Mountain will make a limited run of Hawkins,they been know to make a fine shooting gun from time to time.

I call that the bigger fool theory,heres how it works..I will buy something at times to resale cause its rare or unique.And I know that if I hold onto it long enough I will make money cause I will run across a bigger fool than me,,and no I didn't buy the Big bore,,lol

Well... I agree and disagree. The problem is with me is that there's so few of the guns I buy intending to turn them around that I don't end up keeping. I could probably count on one hand the guns I've bought with the intention of making $$$ on that I actually sold and did so. I love guns... I have many I've bought and never fired. Between my wife and I we probably own close to seventy. I don't know, I haven't counted in awhile. But when I come across something rare or unique, I'm like you and I'll sit on it until the right FOOL comes along that wants/needs it worse than I do and then I make some serious money!!!

70?..... many unfired....OMG!
Holey-Moley Batman!!!!

My first was a T/C Hawkins 50 cal percussion kit my brother got me for Christmas 1976. He belonged to a club that did a bunch of rowdy shoots and wanted me to join in with him and his friends. I never did join the club but shot several events they held thru a year. About 1989 or so I found the iron sights just didn't work with my getting old (43 yrs.) eyes so bought a T/C plains 50 cal rifle which was drilled and tapped for a scope.
I still have both yet today and shoot them often. I also have a pair of Remington 700's one a 50 and the other a 54.

I didn't start hunting deer with a Muzzle loader every year till the late 1980's.
Just got my first deer with my 50 cal Remington this last season.

Mine was a dbbl 12 from imported from India. Bought it from a BP only gun shop in Wichita called 4 flags trading post back in 77 for $110. Small game beware! Fun gun to shoot. left barrel sends sparks from the cap down into your arm. I got some small tattooing there from that gun. (It takes #12 caps.)

I'll jump in. First muzzleloader was a Thompson Omega stainless with a gray and black laminated stock followed by another Omega a couple years ago. Why another? Happened to see it in stainless and walnut and had to have it. I have a Renegade .54 coming in the next couple days also.

T/C Omega .50 caliber...had it for about 12 years. Shoots like a champ as long as I do my job. Two years ago I bought a Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 cal. Added a .50 cal barrel soon after.

My first was a used T/C Hawken .50 caliber, back in a 1990. It was the beginning of owning many T/C percussion, and flint sidelocks, and inlines. I have recently been converted to CVA though.
