Description:
DISCONTINUED THOMPSON-CENTER .50 CALIBER PERCUSSION HAWKEN RIFLE. These made in the U.S. muzzle loaders were among the best of the Hawken reproductions. They were introduced in 1970 and discontinued about ten years ago. They feature double set triggers, brass furniture and patchbox (with cleaning jag inside), color case hardened engraved lock and hammer, walnut stock, stout 28" octagon barrels and an adjustable rear sight. These are no longer manufactured, which is too bad as the quality in these American made rifles is hard to beat. This example shows a really nice fairly fancy walnut stock and is in excellent condition overall, having seen limited to no use. Aside from a few handling marks in the wood that you'd have to look for, it is in near new condition with uncleaned/unpolished brass. These are still a bargain (if you can find one) compared to the prices of new Italian replicas of lesser quality. I've been shooting T/C muzzle loaders for years and they are fine shooting guns. Loaded with a light powder charge and a round ball, they make great target/plinking guns. Loaded with a T/C Maxi bullet and 90 or 100 grains of black powder make it the equivalent in power of the big Sharps buffalo guns of the 1870s. Nice ones like this are getting hard to find.
