You answered all my questions. Now I have to look the rest of my life to find one😄
I have one. Wanna buy?
Brought mine brand new still have it still use it every deer season
Glen owned one of these that he bought brand new in the early 90’s and sold since. Black powder are a fun hobby rifle.
Cool info Scott.
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you, Cheers.
I bought 3 BP rifles for $180 at a yard sale, one kit assembled kentucky long .45 cal rifle, a rossi break in-line .50 cal muzzle loader, and a thompson center hawken with set triggers .50 cal. That thompson center hawken is my go-to BP competition rifle.
It's a great rifle. Sounds like you scored at that yard sale!
I was lucky enough to have both a pistol and rifle 54 cal Scouts. 🇺🇲
Nice info! I worked in Rochester several years ago, and used to drive by the old Thompson site.
Very cool! Sad it's gone now.
My favorite rifle of all time is the winchester lever action of which I have 2 in 3030 and 32 special. So, yeah, I'd like to find one of those scouts. Think I'd like it.
I just got one gifted to me. Thanks for the vid! I was not sure about this gun til you explained everything very well!
So glad it helped.
Hope you both are dong well with the storm coming at you. Stay safe. Interesting background on this, Scott. Well said! It was neat to see the parts explained too. Cheers.
Thanks! We made it through the storm fine. It was quite a bit of wind, but no rain.
Thankfully its a beautiful day today.
Very interesting and informative Scott. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
The Scouts came with their own specific wrench. I didn’t see the spring steel that slides into the hammer to prevent dropping primers into the action. It is sad that Thompson Center is no more😢 I really wish somebody would bring back the Renegade Rifle.
It really is too bad they aren't in business anymore. They made some good rifles.
Fixing to pick one of them up in a day or two 🇺🇸💪💣👍
Nice!
Very interesting
H&R huntsman was first true in-line
Great video Scott, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Hope you and Shelly have a blessed weekend.
Thanks, you too! Take care
I had a Teaxs Scout full otcdegone only 500 of them were made l had SN. 470 got stolen. I miss TC.
Hey Scott nice video
Hey there
Okay gave you the like now do a specific video on the vented housing and antechamber
Cool
👍👍👍
Wish I had never sold my T/C Pennsylvania Hunter …😢
Have you tried blackhorn powder in your scout? I like my scout too. Good video.
I have not. Not yet anyway. I have a jug of it that I haven’t opened yet.
How many shots do you typically do on your scout before you clean it? I have one I inherited from my dad just got it shooting yesterday.
It depends. I use mostly black powder substitute. So it’s not as corrosive as real black powder. That does help. If I take my black powder guns out to the range, i clean them soon afterward. During hunting season, I don’t really shoot unless I’m actually shooting at an animal, so I usually shoot less. Most of the time whichever of the muzzleloaders I’m using only gets cleaned at the end of the season. However, if you’re shooting a lot, it will start to load hard as it gets dirty.
The crud cleans right up. The real damage is the rust that builds up if they’re left dirty for too long. The Scout is a little harder to clean than a more modern inline, but it’s not that bad if you don’t let it get bad to start with. Bore Butter works great, both inside, and out.
@@scottfromwhiskeynsunshine305 do you suggest I at least run a dry patch down it after every shot
Well that depends. I don’t myself, but some folks do. You can tell when you put the next projectile in. If they start going in hard, either run a patch through it, or just clean it. Realistically, that’s the only trouble you’ll have, as long as you don’t let it sit dirty for a long time.
That’s when the rust starts.
An “old timer” once told me that you should treat a black powder gun like a cast iron pan. If you keep it properly “seasoned”, it will clean up easier, and shoot better.
It also helps to use the black powder substitute, and a projectile like Power Belts.
You can’t over clean it. So really, it’s personal preference. I put Bore Butter on everything that’s blued, inside, and out.
Then wipe it off to remove the excess. If you do that, and use never seize on any threads, you will be fine.

I have one i just bought .I see people saying this gun blew back in there faces. And it miss fired alot . ? I haven't shot it yet is there any truth to this . I'm almost afraid to shoot it
Have it checked out by a gun smith .
I'am assuming it has a removable nipple . The hole size will be critical , I suspect .
If in doubt, favor published light loads .
Nice looking firearm !
I’d say both yes, and no. A lot of miss fires could be from old caps (keep in mind, we’re talking the old #11 caps), and I’ve found that some folks neglect their black powder guns a lot.
Also, even though it’s an inline, it actually be more dependable with regular loose powder, than with the pellets.
So far mine has never failed to fire, and it’s never had any blowback issues either.
I would take it all apart, give it a good cleaning, and inspection.
When you do get ready to fire it, start with a lighter load, and work your way up.
I would reiterate, take it apart, and clean it first. Looking for anything plugged, missing, or broken.
You could take it to a gunsmith. Can’t go wrong by doing that. Especially if it’s corroded, and doesn’t want to come apart.
With black powder guns, it’s all about how they’ve been taken care of.
Update ... I have shot it today for the first time it shot great I'm using loose powder pyrodex rs type mines a 54 cal . With 70 gr with a patch and round ball . It shot perfectly and hardly any recoil at all i was expecting
it to kick hard my little 410. GA shoots way harder. I love this gun . I think the key is to keep it clean and I won't have any problems out of it
Good for you!!
I was actually wondering the same thing about mine
