Description:
FIRST OF THESE I'VE SEEN! THOMPSON-CENTER HAWKEN FLINTLOCK IN .45 CALIBER! These totally American made muzzle loaders haven't been made for about ten years or so which is unfortunate as they were/are considered top quality in every way and one of the few muzzle loading arms to be made in the U.S.A. To my knowledge, the flintlock version was only made in .50 caliber, yet here is one in .45! Most T/C Hawken rifles encountered are percussion .50 caliber with few in .45 or .54 and fewer still in flintlock ignition. The .45 caliber is extremely versatile as it can be loaded with a light black powder charge behind a .440" patched round ball for small game or target shooting, or loaded with a heavy charge of powder behind a "Maxi-Ball" (bullet) which will bring the power level up to the .45-90 cartridge. This example is in excellent condition with the exception that it has a few very shallow scratches in the wood - the main scratch comes forward of the patchbox and is visually apparent, but is so shallow it can't really be felt with a finger nail. The action is case colored and the furniture is solid brass. All the barrel blue is intact as is the original adjustable rear sight. The ramrod appears to have a repaired crack/break that would be easy to replace. Comes with a brass cleaning jag in the patchbox. The wood simply needs a light going over/refinish to look factory new. In all a super rare variation that would be hard or impossible to find another example.
