T/C Seneca .36cal.
T/C Hawken .50cal.

The .36 is in great shape and just needs a little touching up.

The .50 is in pretty good shape. Someone talked him into installing an enclosed primer instead of using just the nipple. He removed the factory sights and installed a fiber optic front and rear, but the originals were included.
One owner who bought both rifles new and even gave me the manual for the .36cal. Nice rifle.

a very good find. The Seneca rifles are getting really hard to find.

BA, I just don't understand why you bought those. Don't you already have a gun?

That Seneca is a great find. I have never seen one for sale in my area.

I had a seneca years back in .45. But that bore was so tight I couldn't get a ball down the bore even with a .010" patch. I also had a cherokee a couple years ago in .32.
Both of these bring a premium price these days.

They sure are... that's why I'm happy the Mrs. bought me the one I own over ten years ago. It's in excellent condition and I'm sure the it's value has increased significantly since.
