I would prefer a Lyman 57 SML peep sight and a lee shaver globe or a green fiber optic front sight.Īny recommendations on stores, online resources, or books would be greatly appreciated. Is this something a beginner can take on, or is it best to find and experienced individual to help install this part? As far as sights go they seem to be fairly straight forward to find, if you can find them in stock. Should my first step be to find someone with a bore scope to check on the status of the inside of the barrel before looking for the missing parts? I have read about polishing the bore with 0000 steel wool and a polishing compound like Montana X-treme but have yet to embark down this path.Īs for replacement parts, Is it possible to find the original coil spring lock? I have done some searching online and have read that L&R makes leaf spring locks but that they require modifying the stock to fit. First of all the muzzleloader is missing it's lock (percussion), the ramrod, and the front sight. I recently had a T/C Hawken, serial number 61343, handed down to me and am new to traditional muzzleloading and was looking for recommendations.
