Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Tell me about a T/C Scout pistol.

Several yrs ago I found a T/C Scout pistol 50cal in a pawn shop and bought it.
It has the box and the ramrod but no paperwork.
I need load data and a bullet type for it.
How much is it worth today?
Recoil? Safety issues?
It is really nice and free from rust or dents & dings.
Thanks
Coach

Well iI have one also the rifle in 50 calibre .Thompson web sight still list the booklet on them .Load is 100 gr max ffg with round ball .Recommended load is 80 gr ffg for 1654F.P.S.muzzle engry of 1063 right out of the book. They are fun an a great shooter big enought for deer to 100 yards . They have a 1-20 twist on both pistol an rifle

Hey Savage, I don't think the the Scout rifles and carbines are 1:20 twist, only the 50 caliber pistol. Check out this T/C website I accidently found a couple of years ago. I have a .54cal Scout Rifle (not a carbine) and I think it's, arguably, the most beautiful muzzleloader I've ever seen and the Scout pistol is, without a doubt, just as beautiful. My rifle is 1:48, with octagon to round barrel, brass buttplate, and brass forend cap. I think it's kinda rare. I've only seen one other like it and it was in .50cal, not .54cal.

Old Coach, you've got a great pistol. If you get misfires it's because the Scouts were originally designed for black powder with it's lower ignition point, not pyrodex, etc. (I was told this years ago by one the old timers at T/C.) The Scout's unique breech plug/integral nipple reduces the amount of "heat" that gets to the powder. I've never quite completely solved this problem buy I love my rifle anyway. If you want to sell it let me know. Good luck!!
Mike

well here it is from the gun digest Black powder loading manual By Sam Fadala Page 227 The 50 calibre were both 1-20 twist in 54 was 1-38 or 1-48 can't remember now

Don't know why the big gap from the start to where the gun twist an loads are

i always wished i had bought the scout when they came out. i went with the white mtn carbine instead. it's laid a bunch of deer down.

I save that list on twist on the Tc thanks When I talk to a lady there at TC she says the 50 were of difference twist then 54 why who knows

Savage62, It seems that you, I, and Sam Fadala are all correct. I pulled out my T/C catalogs (I have 'em all) and checked the twists for the Scout. No mention is made concerning the twist rates of the pistols so we'll have to trust the chart. When the Scout was introduced in 1990 (catalog #17) the .50 & .54 carbines were 1:20 twist. In 1994 the .50 carbine was changed to 1:38 and in 1995 the .54 carbine was changed to 1:38. The rifle (1:38) was added to the line in 1996 and also offered in 1997, the last year for the Scout. My rifle has the octagon to round barrel which is 1:48 but 1:48 is not even mentioned in the catalogs. There were also a few non-cataloged Scouts made with full octagon barrels in 1:48. How's that for confusing? I honestly don't think the folks at T/C have accurate information these days. In the pre-S&W days you could call them and get any accurate information you wanted right from the mouth of one of the guys who actually built the guns. Now sometimes you can't even get ANY answer and the answers you get may or may not be accurate. Field Hand mentioned that he has a White Mountain Carbine which may have a twist rate of 1:20 or 1:38, depending on when it was made if it's a .50 caliber. If it's a .45 or .54 it's 1:48. The chart makes no mention of the 1:20 .50 WMC. Please accept my apology for doughting you and Sam. Mike

Man that no problem these people at S.W. they need help I called them today at 11 A.M. was on hold for 20 min .The lady said she had no idea an would get back to me then hung up .Pretty hard to when you don't take name or number .Call back after 1;30 P.lM, waited 20 more min a nother lady after telling her a scout carbine she told me all about a 30-06 they had that was a scout .I told her a Scout carbine in 50 cal don't know what your talking about .I don't know if I would buy any of there guns after this . Never did say what twist they had
