I was able to get a mid 70's TC Hawken from a friend of mine that was no longer able to use it because of his declining health. Around 10 years ago this was actually the first muzzleloader I had ever shot. He had come over to my range and brought along this very rifle and let me shoot it. I knew then that I enjoyed everything involved in muzzle loading.
This particular Hawken is a tack driver out to 50 yards. My son and myself spent the afternoon getting to know the rifle. One ragged hole, 5 shot groups are easily shot with this rifle. I have shot several custom muzzleloaders and this one will hold it’s ground against any of them in accuracy.
I have heard from a very good source that used to work with Douglas Barrels that the early to mid 70’s TC’s had Douglas barrels or TC barrels machined under supervision of Douglas machinists.
Regardless of the story behind the gun, I’m glad my friend has passed this gun along to me to enjoy for many more years.
