Just bought my Thompson 54 Cal and found your video thank you very much for the useful information. Excellent.!

I got one in 1984 it never let me down

I love these old smoke poles. They are painfully slow to load though. Just perfect for a world that needs to slow down anyway.

I have the same rifle. It’s really accurate with minne bullets from a Lee mould. It’s a joy to shoot.

I bought mine in 1984 , have taken three white tails with it “ one a 50 yard head shot” and still own it today and will till I die . The old TC was killed by in-line shit poles and S&W.

After removing the fired cap, blow through the barrel from the muzzle to make sure there’s no fouling.

I've had a 54 Renegade for a long time. I actually built mine from a kit. It's a dang good shooter.

Bought a .54 contender in a kit back in early 90s. I would love to find one these in great shape. They very accurate rifles. Shame they no longer make them.

Great video! Curious why you don't pre-cut your patches before going out in the field.

Loved it ♥

I have a. 54 T/C Hawken and it just will not group patched round ball however it will shoot the Hornady Great plains conical 425 gr through the same hole at 50 yrds with 110grs of fff pyrodex. Just a safety note, Do not leave the hammer resting on the cap , it can fire with no warning due to the pressure of the hammer . I have personally witnessed this on the range fortunately no one was injured as the line was hot and no one was down range. The rifle had been loaded and was just resting on bags .

A ripped patch can also merely indicate that your rifling is nice and sharp.

I'm surprised Thompson doesn't make traditional muzzleloaders anymore. I thought there would still be a market and demand for them.

Or you can shoot the cap off in a safe direction if you at the range and swab the bore for residue to confirm.

Pyrodex hangfires like crazy.

I have the same rifle, my wife bought it for me in 1990.

You know guns are peace maker after you fire that shot that sounds coming from jungle stops suddenly that 🦗🦜 understand the statement 😅😅

These are both junk and ugly. No wonder not made anymore. Lots of farcbetter makers.

Mountain Men did not plink, lead and powder were too hard to come by
