He!! YeahI have 4 T/C's. Would make room for a 5th. A Kibler Hawken would be nice too.

Quality aways comes at a price. But my guess they will less than a custom gun. My custom flintlock cost $2,500.Just like everything else these days.
What video or source stated the Hawken in late 2024? I cannot find that.He is going to have encore barrels in October and a complete gun in November. Just to get started. Then Triumph will be next. Then later in 2024 start the Hawkins sidelock.
Thanks. Sounds like 2026.The curious might want to check out this thread on the "Vendors and Manufacturers" forum:

If you listen the interview with Gregg on Ethan's "I Love Muzzleloading" podcast you will get some information on the company's plan to bring out a TC Hawken.
The Hawken Shop kit is $1650 now. https://www.thehawkenshop.com/Products/Hawken-Rifle-Kit__H1.aspx
How does it compare to the Kibler?
If you want a Hawken, just gets some parts and build one. You will end up with a better gun and like it more because you built it.
Your right, probably not for everyone. That's a reason Kibler is so popular and just a great product.Not always so. We aren’t all as handy at that?

Well maybe we just need Jim to make a Hawken.I got a C- on the birdhouse during high school. But even I can handle a Kiblers lol.
They may be more expensive, but usually it's a much better product. (Kibler)US companies have a hard time competing due to taxes, comp, insurance, property taxes, wages and benefits and cost of utilities
I think they know they'll need to be competitive, or buyers will look elsewhere.While this is good news there is no way they are going to sell a new rifle for less than a grand.
I think the 1200 guess is likely.
But will they back their products with a similar guarantee as the old company did back in the day.
Kind of concerned that they will go and make the new guns incompatible with the old guns. Betcha won't be able to slap an old lock in one of their new guns. Just a gut feeling, I have nothing to go on really other than my knowledge of corporate greed.
Yes they can make some good one for sure but for some reason they still suffer from soft screws.I have seen repo Italian lever actions 1873 Colts Sharps rifles civil war muskets etc and I say it is almost impossible to surpass the quality
Build one lol. look up gunsmiths of williamsburg 1969 on you tube. after they forge a flat piece of steel they beat it in a jig to start rounding and the seam gets welded while it is red hot. they forge all the lock parts. making the stock is fascinating the whole video is.If you want a Hawken, just gets some parts and build one.

you can replace screws for a small amount of moneyYes they can make some good one for sure but for some reason they still suffer from soft screws.
