I read that this AM, but didn't get all the way through it.

Wondering if they are going to build traditional style muzzleloaders, or just the modern zip guns?  If any at all.

I certainly hope they remember the Muzzle Loader customers!  That's where a lot of us started.

Yep, me too.
Started with a .54 Renegade.  Man, I shot the heck out of that thing.  Eventually it started throwing shots every once in a while and I put a Douglas Premium barrel on it.  Looked a bit different than when it came out of the factory, with a 36" barrel.  I added a custom Hawken style butt plate and trigger guard.  Except for the lock, it really didn't look like a T/C.  But I did really like it.  Then like a darn fool, I sold that and got something else, might have been a Pedersoli Hawken?  I've always missed that first T/C, though.

after watching the video. it seemed they were concentrating on reviving the T/C Contender. Maybe if that's successful?......

I love my TC Hawkens and Renegades however I am not holding my breath that they will start making them again.   :bigsmile:
