Thank you!

@larryreese6146 3 месяца назад

My favorite rifle of all time is the winchester lever action of which I have 2 in 3030 and 32 special. So, yeah, I'd like to find one of those scouts. Think I'd like it.

@Agrothewarhorse 4 месяца назад

I bought 3 BP rifles for $180 at a yard sale, one kit assembled kentucky long .45 cal rifle, a rossi break in-line .50 cal muzzle loader, and a thompson center hawken with set triggers .50 cal. That thompson center hawken is my go-to BP competition rifle.

@WhiskeynSunshineOffGrid 4 месяца назад

It's a great rifle. Sounds like you scored at that yard sale!

@twinbrookacres 10 месяцев назад

Hey Scott nice video

@WhiskeynSunshineOffGrid 9 месяцев назад

Hey there

@olehemlock 8 месяцев назад

The Scouts came with their own specific wrench. I didn’t see the spring steel that slides into the hammer to prevent dropping primers into the action. It is sad that Thompson Center is no more😢 I really wish somebody would bring back the Renegade Rifle.

@WhiskeynSunshineOffGrid 8 месяцев назад

It really is too bad they aren't in business anymore. They made some good rifles.

Have you tried blackhorn powder in your scout? I like my scout too. Good video.

@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 7 месяцев назад

I have not. Not yet anyway. I have a jug of it that I haven’t opened yet.

@marksmithwick2503 9 месяцев назад

How many shots do you typically do on your scout before you clean it? I have one I inherited from my dad just got it shooting yesterday.

@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 9 месяцев назад

It depends. I use mostly black powder substitute. So it’s not as corrosive as real black powder. That does help. If I take my black powder guns out to the range, i clean them soon afterward. During hunting season, I don’t really shoot unless I’m actually shooting at an animal, so I usually shoot less. Most of the time whichever of the muzzleloaders I’m using only gets cleaned at the end of the season. However, if you’re shooting a lot, it will start to load hard as it gets dirty. The crud cleans right up. The real damage is the rust that builds up if they’re left dirty for too long. The Scout is a little harder to clean than a more modern inline, but it’s not that bad if you don’t let it get bad to start with. Bore Butter works great, both inside, and out.

@marksmithwick2503 9 месяцев назад

@@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 do you suggest I at least run a dry patch down it after every shot

@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 9 месяцев назад

Well that depends. I don’t myself, but some folks do. You can tell when you put the next projectile in. If they start going in hard, either run a patch through it, or just clean it. Realistically, that’s the only trouble you’ll have, as long as you don’t let it sit dirty for a long time. That’s when the rust starts. An “old timer” once told me that you should treat a black powder gun like a cast iron pan. If you keep it properly “seasoned”, it will clean up easier, and shoot better. It also helps to use the black powder substitute, and a projectile like Power Belts. You can’t over clean it. So really, it’s personal preference. I put Bore Butter on everything that’s blued, inside, and out. Then wipe it off to remove the excess. If you do that, and use never seize on any threads, you will be fine.

@iwin1833 8 месяцев назад

I have one i just bought .I see people saying this gun blew back in there faces. And it miss fired alot . ? I haven't shot it yet is there any truth to this . I'm almost afraid to shoot it

@jeffreyrudolph5061 8 месяцев назад

Have it checked out by a gun smith . I'am assuming it has a removable nipple . The hole size will be critical , I suspect . If in doubt, favor published light loads . Nice looking firearm !

@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 8 месяцев назад

I’d say both yes, and no. A lot of miss fires could be from old caps (keep in mind, we’re talking the old #11 caps), and I’ve found that some folks neglect their black powder guns a lot. Also, even though it’s an inline, it actually be more dependable with regular loose powder, than with the pellets. So far mine has never failed to fire, and it’s never had any blowback issues either. I would take it all apart, give it a good cleaning, and inspection. When you do get ready to fire it, start with a lighter load, and work your way up. I would reiterate, take it apart, and clean it first. Looking for anything plugged, missing, or broken. You could take it to a gunsmith. Can’t go wrong by doing that. Especially if it’s corroded, and doesn’t want to come apart. With black powder guns, it’s all about how they’ve been taken care of.

@iwin1833 8 месяцев назад

Update ... I have shot it today for the first time it shot great I'm using loose powder pyrodex rs type mines a 54 cal . With 70 gr with a patch and round ball . It shot perfectly and hardly any recoil at all i was expecting it to kick hard my little 410. GA shoots way harder. I love this gun . I think the key is to keep it clean and I won't have any problems out of it

@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 8 месяцев назад

Good for you!!

@Roastbeef88420 5 месяцев назад

I was actually wondering the same thing about mine
