osage outlaw:
I used to have a TC Firehawk.  It looked similar to yours except it was inline.  I traded it towards a .44 revolver.

Eric Krewson:
I was going to leave the gun pristine but decided to shoot it to see how it grouped. With 75gr of 2F, a .490 ball and a .015 ticking patch it would shoot about a 1 1/2" group at 50 yards but the group was about 4" high with the rear sight bottomed out. It shot dead on with a Maxi Hunter but grouped poorly with 75gr, I didn't try a different load.

I took the standard rear sight off and replaced it with a TC fiber optic made for a New Englander. The standard front was .475 tall so I replaced it with a Williams fiber optic that is .530 tall. This should give me some elevation adjustment for shooting round balls.
