Anybody know where I can find a 1" .58 that would fit my TC Hawken percussion gun? Buy a Renegade or Hawken 1" barrel and send it to this guy: Bob Hoyt 700 Fairfield Station Rd. Fairfield, Pa. 17320 ph... 717 642 6696 Will do, thanks.

Good stuff Men, I placed cardboard shipping boxes out at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 yards last week and had at them with my 58 getting ready for the Kansas deer hunt sometime next month, I have my sight filed so the ball lands right on top of where the front sight is pointed, of course all shots were slightly high, except the 125 yard shot, it was near dead on and a bit to the right, I shoot a harder alloyed ball, somewhere between 20 and 30 to 1, I may have to go in at a last rib, I need the penetration, 140 grains has a pretty dang flat trajectory out to 125, the old 58 cal smoke belcher is ready, all that's left is to find some hair to put in front of it. 
Trump Won!

There are some very nice rifles posted on here!
Thanks to all posters. I do like seeing them!
PDS, 30338, I took possession of a nice 20 bore Northwest gun this week. It could use some trigger/lock work. When I get some of these Dr. appts behind me, and get wifey settled back in here at the house Iām gonna tackle into it. I like the looks of those Northwest guns, just don't like to shoot them. They don't fit me and I pay for it on my cheek bone. Hope everything settles down for you soon. Post some pics of that trade gun.

PDS, will try and post NW gun pics later! š Hope so! Appears to be unfired. I watched that puppy on GB for a couple days before I couldn't stand the suspense any longer and paid the Buy Now price, a couple or three hundred under the market, based on others for sale, and even a couple hundred under the Eyetalian ones. Now I need to find a nice PH Musketoon to keep it company (better find the money first!).

Hope you crush a good one Gunner! Iād like to get in on this 58 cal action.... Hell, 30338 has me using Scenars from the 300 RUM this year, feeling a little crazy, but I figure if he trusts them and shoots a big ol ball he knows what works!

You are irredeemable, it seems. Must be the effects of all that sulpher-laden smoke.
Very nice, as usual.

If he's in there, i'll find him Big B, you can count on that, and yes, you need a 58, nothing like it, lol on 30338, he wont steer you wrong. Nice rifles Pappy and KW, congrats Men and happy shooting and hunting!

Damn! All this 58 caliber talk got me interested. Took a look around and they're scarce as hen's teeth? Most are Civil War replicas.

Try to find a lefty lol. Once I saw pics of my current one, my checkbook opened pretty fast. Pretty easy to rebore a 50 or 54 into one.

Yes, a friend PM'd me and said to find a Hawken in 54 caliber, as he has a guy who will rebore it to 58 on the cheap.

I am not much of a turkey hunter. Just donāt really care to hunt em. But I do like fusils and smoothrifles. This is smoothie #4 in my collection.
