Just another TC put down,
we can take it! Being #1 for sooooo looooong carries a lot of responsibility.
I've never seen a shot out TC barrel and only owned 6, currently 3, so I can't say if any of the previous statements are true. You have to clean the barrel when the shooting is done! I have been shooting them for over 30 years and take great care of them. A couple buddies still have their 1970's TC Hawkens and will be hunting with them in Jan. I remember when all the rest were selling cheap kits. Don't hesitate to purchase a used TC rifle, most likely it will make you very proud you did. I only hope they continue to produce quality products. Sorry for the rant but.......
