far from the best. Bores are way to tight for my liking and the shallow .004" sucks with round balls.

I have a .50 cal T/C Hawken, 2 each Blackdiamonds & a .54 Renagade. I have hunted with all of them & have no preference. You can find side locks cheap at local pawn shops. Everyone thinks you need a in-line now days so, you can find good used side locks for under $200.

The TC Hawkens were great muzzleloaders, and it is unfortunate that TC went away from them. As far as the Lyman's are concerned, they are excellent sidelocks. We have the Trade Rifle in stock, in case you're still looking, and they can ship the same day. Good luck with your search!

I have a Lyman Great plains , made by investarms.  Bought some fouling scrapers & brushes to keep breech area clean.......crud likes to collect there & if not addressed will hamper ignition, I think there's a recess at bottom of breech plug . Accurate , shoots well as long as it's clean!
