I tried that Eric, it doesn't help at all. My best bet is to hold a gloved hand over it and muffle it the best I can. I love the rifle too much to not hunt it during all of our firearms seasons. I had a bunch of old hardware shotguns when I was a kid. All of them could be cocked without a sound by holding the trigger.

Osage Outlaw. I sat with one of my grandkids for the first three days of our gun season. I took my .06 but never picked it up.  I was going to let him do all the shooting.  We saw deer but no legal antlered bucks so none got shot.  I could care less if I shoot a deer again but I like to be out there and enjoy what God has given us.  Going back to the cabin on Monday for the week.

Eric  I'll have to try that on my TC flinter and the Deerstalker.. Last week when I pulled back the hammer it was the loudest click I ever heard. As it was dead quite in the coulee..

Chris  Hope you have success with your hawken.. Nothing like it
Thanks Leroy

Good luck.  We are heading back out in the morning.  It's going to be very cold.  I hope she can stay warm long enough to get a shot.  I'll pack her boots and gloves with hot packs.

Pretty sure you can pull the front trigger on a TC and cock it soundlessly then release the front trigger while holding the hammer back. You still have to set it but the set has less of a click. You can set it off without setting it by pulling the front trigger but the trigger pull will be hard. You can go completely to the front trigger by adjusting the little screw between the triggers. I owned at least 6 TC rifles but that was along time ago and I may have my facts mixed up about the lock cocking operation.





My flintlock .54 has a single trigger, I can pull the trigger and cock it without a sound. When I sit on a stand I cock my rifle and put a leather cover over the fritzen so it can't spark. Lots easier to flip the leather frizzen stall off than to try to cock a rifle with a deer headed your way. 









Eric- Your trigger advice works great.. T/C pull both triggers then the hammer and release the front trigger then the back one.. It's quite and will set the front
Thanks Leroy

I'll try that tonite Leroy. I know holding the primary trigger didn't help. I will pull both triggers and let the primary down first. I'd love to find a way to hush it up. It's crazy loud.

Hold that thought, Matt. I hear RR II is already in the planning stages.

It sure is Scott.  We had a brainstorming session today and came up with some good ideas.  Am I the only one who can see the potential of this burgundy beauty?
