TC Hawken, TC White Mountain Carbine, 4 Uberti .44 cal revolvers (brass frame), 2 Ruger Old army revolvers and lastly a Beretta Over and under percussion 12 ga. shotgun.
I owned a Dixie Shooters model in 45 cal. years ago. Dixie sells the conversion cylinders but for the price I would just buy a Blackhawk in the caliber I want. I've owned many bp revolvers and pistols and they are alot of fun to shoot. Loaded correctly you can get the ballistics of a modern 38, unless you have the Walker Colt, then it's just a plain cannon.
My favorite was a 44 steel Army that was found in an old barn. The guy soaked it in kerosene for a week and then cleaned it up. Best shooting pistol I've ever owned.
Owned a variety of traditional long guns, 5 of which have been GPRs. Got rid of all the bp except for the 54 GPR, I'll never get rid of that.
Some one had a "new in box, .50 cal BP gun kit" listed in the paper yesterday for $50 bucks.....called on it and left a message??? No call back.
First time I have seen one of these listed for sale in a long time.
This used to be my favorite way to score anything BP.
.54 cal. Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken.
TC White Mountain Carbine.
Going to do something I never do on the internet, show some of my work.

I manage to build about one each winter and they are not "kits". All are built from scratch. I have 11 I have built from scratch ranging from .32-.69 caliber in both rifle and smoothbore trim. There are two more half finished on the workbench and will be in shooting condition by spring. Building has kept body and mind together through many stressful times.
I also own factory BP guns.
2 TC Hawkins .45/.50
1 Traditions .32
1 CVA scope mounted in-line (I am not a trad-gun snob either)
Also have uncounted BP revolvers and single shots scattered about and I am not sure I counted everything in every corner as I walked through the house just now.
Kyrat, Very nice.
Kyrat,great looking work thanks for showing us
Awesome work!!!
I have a Knight .50 and some kind of old black powder pistol I never fooled with.
