T/c strike
 

I am looking into the T/C Strike muzzleloader, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it. I like the stricker fire over the hammer on my
T/C Encore, and the ease of cleaning also much easier to insert the 209 primer.

Isn't this the same rifle design of a different company that put out a very similar rifle but it did not seem to go over so much. I can't even remember the name of that company.
It is where the breech plug screws into the barrel acting as a cap if you will that the 209 primer is inserted in. Then it locks up like a single shot shotgun, without a hammer?

I never held one, saw one in the flesh per say, or saw one being fired (other then the older rifle company's gun on You Tube). Being a T/C I would suspect it a good quality rifle. BUT as my father always warns, buyer be ware. I am sure someone will have some comments about the rifle. I did look it up and it looks like a nice rifle. How heavy is that thing?

Its basically the same rifle as a LHR Redemption. S&W bought the rights to make it and IIRC the owner went back to work for T/C too.

It looks like T/C dropped the ball IMO,the breech plug is not removable and must be must be cleaned like an old Hawkens,and you can not just push the round out like you can with a removable breech plug.So it looks like I'll be looking at a Encore FX

Not sure what your talking about?? The T/C strike has a removable breech plug. Probably the best breech plug design ive ever used.

Yeah im not sure where that info is coming from.

Directly from the T/C website. https://www.tcarms.com/firearms/muzz...ke#information


How would you change it out if its not removable?

We're curious where you got that info?

Looks like Mr. wjsmall put his foot in his mouth.
Its OK to make a mistake but admit it. Heck I even thought I made a mistake once - but I was wrong!
I'll admit the Strike has my attention. And if I had a hankering for another inline I would definitely look into it.

When you think about it. The breech plug is the biggest selling point of the Strike.

I'm not impressed with the rest of it.

It looks like the adapter removes from the breech plug, but the breech plug itself is not removable. You can't put a .50 call brush through it.If someone has one I would love to see the breech plug removed if I am wrong.

The pictures of the breech plugs are in post#6. What do you think those are? They aren't in the gun.

If you're worried about not being able to get a brush through it.

Get one of these. I use them on sidelocks and they reverse easily. Read the description on it.

I think Sharpshooter had one of the first models before T/C. If anyone could tell you how it shoots or preforms, he might be able to help you.

Grouse has one too. At least he used to.

I still have the Redemption . It shoots great . Last time I shot her it was touching holes at 100 yards with 90 gr blackhorn and the 260 pt gold . The action when Open felt slightly loose but it locks up tight and definitely is accurate. The breech plug is a great feature for sure . Some people complained about the comb in relation to scoping it but I never had a problem . Fit me just fine . Overall a great gun in my opinion . Super accurate

In post # 6 those are adapters,
1 is for loose powder and the other is for loose powder and pellets.

They're breech plugs. A different design from other guns, but breech plugs.

If you don't like the design, buy a different gun. Simple.

wjsmall97, take a closer look at post number 6 as the others have said. From what I can see as I have never seen or held on of those strikes, the chamber is over sized and the breech plug is fitted in permanently but that breech plug looks to be more of a receiver than a plug. The actual plug is the adaptor and it is sized to the barrel dimension. In other words, you pull that adaptor and you will be looking at a .50 caliber hole. It does pay to look close and pay attention.
