I've heard two stories on the 2nd generation: parts made by Uberti & assembled by Colt, and some say assembled by Henry Arms.Sep 19, 2023. #7. I killed my bull on the 5th day of the 9 day Colorado muzzleloader season. Walking a ridge overlooking a deep canyon we spotted 3 different bulls on the slopes across the other side. After glassing them for a while, we finally decided to slide down the hill on our butts to go after the biggest one.Jul 31, 2022. #2. The T/C PA Hunter is a good rifle. I have both the flint and percussion. I think the 450-550 price range is more like a value. However, the lock needs attention as the geometry of the original T/C can be improved for more reliable performance. I sent mine out to Cabin Creek Muzzleloaders to be re-worked.Oct 14, 2011 · Location. Camino, CA. Yesterday at 4:43 PM. #1. 2001 Pietta Remington 1858 NMA revolver, .44 caliber, in excellent used condition. Stainless frame/cylinder with 8” barrel, walnut grips. $320 shipped. Investarms Hawkens are great rifles, well built and accurate. My first muzzleloader ever (bought in 1977) was a Charles Daly (Investarms) .54 Hawken, still have it, still shoots great. Added several more since then, never have had a problem or breakage. Not authentic to any original design, but super guns for the money..
