I Got it done, and ready to Roll out on it’s Maiden Voyage This was a Special Build/Project to me. The Barrel is a 15/16” Stainless Green Mountain LRH .45 Cal, 1:30 Twist. I got This Barrel from Chet (1874Sharpsshooter), he had Got it from Dave Anderson (Cayugad) in 2016-17, Ironically i Bought Dave’s GM LRH Stainless 50 Cal Barrel in that Same Time period, I ended up Selling it to another Forum member here (shguns) Anyway, Being a .45 Cal Guy, This is my Dave Anderson/Cayugad “Keeper”
I have been looking for a REALLY Nice Stock since i got this Barrel, I have found Several, But they were nothing Special, I really wanted something Nice for this Project, Something that STOOD OUT from the Rest. A Rifle that I have wanted from my Beginning in Muzzleloading, one I can be found talking about LONG ago as a “Dream Build” was a TC Hawken “Cougar” Or a “Silver Elite” Stock, This was Due to it’s Stainless Furniture, I Also wanted a Stainless Green Mountain LRH Barrel to Rest in it. The Hawken “Cougars”, And “Silver Elite’s” are not Real easy to Come by, and they Bring a PREMIUM When you do See them, Usually about 1,000-1,500, But i wasn’t interested in the Factory Barrel, I ONLY wanted the Stock. Anyway, I spotted this TC “Silver Elite” Stock ONLY Recently on Ebay, I made the Guy an offer and Ended up with it
I spent most of the Day Today Tinkering with this thing, Properly Fitting the Barrel, Installing a Lyman 57SML tang Peep, and Lyman 17AHB Globe Front Sight.
Pictures DON’T do this Rifle Justice, The Wood is BEAUTIFUL, But doesn’t show much in the Pics. Stainless Sure looks Neat! I have always loved the looks of Stainless.
The Crescent Butt Plates on the TC Hawken’s Don’t bother me a Bit, I have never had a problem With them. On the other Hand, My Lyman Plains Crescent Butt Plate was DANGEROUS
Even the Black, Delrin Ramrod has Stainless ends
