Omega action

[ElDiablo]

What’s the old quote that some throw out here frequently?

“SMLs make the best BP sub rifles!”

True.

True.

Yep, thats the rumor

Yep, thats the rumor

It may be true, but once you quit black, you’ll never go back.

Thats true as well, with me anyway. If only black powder & pyrodex were the only options, I would not be into muzzleloaders today. The same goes for round balls, if that was the only thing avail or allowed by law, I would not be into muzzleloaders today.
Sooo thankfully, neither are the case.

Well for the money I decided to buy it $70.15 shipped. Is listed as NOS and he is a highly rated seller so we will see. If it turns out to be nice, I will decide what to do with it.

Good for you.

Been doing some reading on the forum and all positive. Not in a rush but I really want a smokeless gun.

The money you saved on the frame put the rest in the barrel. Go smokeless.

 

[Ninering62]

So can anyone tell me an approximate price to get a barrel from Woodman and use this action and the laminate thumbhole stock to build a smokeless. If someone will PM me I might go that route

Why would you ask that in here, or anywhere else other than simply asking Mark via email or even a PM in here?
That kinda practice reminds me of the ridiculousness in asking the cow what the horse thinks when they are in the same pen.

Well i am the odd duck in the flock. I enjoy fooling with & shooting & hunting with my black powder ML's. I also love shooting my sml.

"The money you saved on the frame put the rest in the barrel. Go smokeless.".... LBAhunter

I'm with LBAhunter on this.

I have the one smokeless. I have a handful of in-lines that I have used with BH209 for hunting, or T7 fffg at the bench, and honestly these guns have not seen any decent bench time this year. I shoot the smokeless gun more than anything and enjoy it a whole lot more. The only BH gun I shoot regularly is the Optima pistol.

And honestly, I think if this T/C venture hopes to make it, they should focus on smokeless with that Omega chassis and do as Woodman does....offer different barrels and stock options. Black powder guns have been beat to death with all the competition between CVA, T/C in the past, and Traditions. There simply isn't anything to be tried that can be called "new" anymore.

I doubt we’ll see a sml from TC. Too much liability.

There's liability on the black powder end as well.

I frequently stand outside the barnyard and ask them both what they think

Got a message today that the action has shipped. Will know in a couple days.

 

[Ron Huff]

It arrived today unused in new condition. Now to decide what to do with it. Need to get the two pins that attach it.

 

[LBAhunter]

Decision should be Easy, get a Smokeless Barrel & High Pressure Breech Plug from Woodman.

That is what I would do if I had that action.
