T/C Seneca 45

[swamp]

I was in the gun shop and they have a T/C Seneca in 45 cal on the rack. They are asking $475.00 for it. I did not handle it. It looked pretty good from the counter. If anyone is interested I could check it out more closely and take some pics.

I have contact info for the shop.

I saw one on Tuesday in a shop in VA for $699. Your gun shop is much more realistic!

I was hoping it was a 36 or 32. I do not shoot 45. Thought some one here would be interested.

Dog gone it...... I was just in Denver last week. Would liked to have seen it. I have one and it would be a stretch to get another. Wonderful little ML.

That Seneca, if in excellent condition, is carrying the average selling cost for a .45 - a .32 or .36 Seneca in like condition changes hands for almost twice as much $$.

The Seneca is a nice little rifle. I have one in 45 cal. with a TC tang peep sight.

I have one. If it is in good condition outside and the bore is good, that is one good price! The few I have seen in the last ten years were almost double that.

So the one I saw, which is a 32, was priced reasonably? That's nuts! You could build a nice rifle with top quality parts for about that much. Why do people pay so much for TC products?

The T/C Cherokee/Seneca rifles (and the Patriot pistol) were fairly unique in the frontstuffer world in that they were scaled down in size from "normal" New England Sporting Rifles.

Compared to the full-size T/C Hawken, they have thinner/shorter barrels (13/16" thick vs 15/16" or 1") (24" or 27" long vs 29"), smaller locks, thinner stocks, weights of 5-6lbs vs 9lbs, etc, etc.

Those features made them very attractive to folks (like me) that felt that they were much handier to tote around when hunting deer/small game than the full-size rifles are.

Keep in mind that New England Sporting Rifles were deigned for the size of the game (deer/black bear) and the mostly restricted distances for shots at game there (not many wide open spaces in N.E.) - ergo, no .50 or .54 calibers in these down-sized rifles.
