Awesome piece.
My PH, as expected shot pretty high, so I'm going to have to cobble up a higher front sight for field use. Have a plan, and what I need is on the way. It's only a replica, but I want to preserve its original state so will use epoxy to fit a higher blade over the original. No rush, the Mountaineer Heritage season isn't until January, although if I make meat with something else early on, I might get it out sooner.
Got quite a backlog of unblooded rifles at present.
What fresh Hell is this?

Hey, I ain’t gotta dog in this hunt, but just saw this posted today on Log Cabins webpage. The Kindigs are good folks to do business with. They have been in the business over 80 years. Just throwing it out if someone is interested. http://www.logcabinshop.com/catalog.php?path=183_208&product_id=85051

I picked up a nice TC big Boar back in the spring. Found a take off renegade stock with set triggers and put the barrel in it. It shoots really well with PRB and 100gr of Black MZ. Ive got a primitive mountain deer hunt/bear scout trip coming up the first week of oct and hopefully I can let it breathe fire. Keep an eye out for a bigboar , they are very nice. Hard to beat the old TC sidelocks.

Hard to beat the old TC sidelocks. That sounds nice. never cared for the original BB stock, though goodness knows the recoil pad is probably welcome. A guy I worked with in the 90s had one, and had a stroke not long after he started shooting it. A coincidence? Perhaps. He stoked it to the max, and shot the big Maxis.

Nice light colored .58 Semisane! Ya gotta get out and shoot'er though. I'm pretty sure it's a misdemeanor to own a .58 in Louisiana and not shoot it at least annually.

Semisane,
Nice old rifle. Looks to me like it might have started life out as an old Sharon "Trade Rifle" kit!!! With some custom additions/work! A great catch! I bet it shoots plumb!!!!
Lets hear how she shoots!!!
