Just a spin on Jim's thread on flintlocks. How many of you shoot/hunt with traditional percussion or musket cap guns? Post up some picture of them.

Mine's an TC Renegade I bought in the early '80s.

what is a trad cap gun?

 

[Sitkahoyt95]

I borrowed my dad’s 54 cal T/C Grey Hawk for this hunt.

That long rifle has a drum percussion. I can’t make out anything on the right side that indicates flint conversion. So reckon it was an original cap gun. 1830, damn! Like The First Original cap gun.

Original cap lock. If it was a flint lock I'd of changed it back.

I've got a sweet TC Renegade in .54 that I picked up from a fellow Hunt Talker, a .50 call single shot pistol that I inherited from Dad, and these:

1858 design, Pietta in need of some work (Cylinder timing is off)
1851 Navy Arms Colt w/brass frame
Pedersoli Walker
The cartridge gun is dad's Hawes Western Marshall in 45 Colt. It's a 1960's vintage import built by JP Sauer & Sohn.

Seems wrong to have a modern pack with the caplock, but it’s the photo I’ve got. 50 cal T/C. Did the job on a doe, but couldn’t get it to hold half @#)(# afterwards. I see some time on the workbench soon.

T/C Hawken .50 cal made back in the eighties. Set up for whitetails here in Alabama. 70 grain of Pyrodex with patched round ball. This was a young 11 point on public land in Alabama.

Love those old revolvers. I had a copy (probably Italian) of the Remington 1858 back in the day. I should have never sold it.
