Quality aways comes at a price. But my guess they will less than a custom gun. My custom flintlock cost $2,500.
What video or source stated the Hawken in late 2024? I cannot find that.
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.

I've had a number of TC muzzleloaders in the past and still have a Seneca with a .36 and .45 cal barrels. I've moved on the Kibler. Bill
Thanks. Sounds like 2026.
I don't understand why one would think a factory made rifle, like the TC 'hawken', might cost $1200.00. Modern rifles often cost much less. e.g. Savage makes a bolt action with scope that sells for less than $500.00.

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.
Much, MUCH tougher to put together than Kibler’s.
Not always so. We aren’t all as handy at that?

Your right, probably not for everyone. That's a reason Kibler is so popular and just a great product.
I got a C- on the birdhouse during high school. But even I can handle a Kiblers lol.

Well maybe we just need Jim to make a Hawken.

They may be more expensive, but usually it's a much better product. (Kibler)
I think they know they'll need to be competitive, or buyers will look elsewhere.

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