    Time machine Hawken

    I did email them and explained that the gun was a Thompson Center and not a civil war era Hawken rifle and was probably only 30 to 40 years old at best. Like you said, no response!

    Time machine Hawken

    A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history! It appears to have been taken extremely good care of. It is said that this gun was carried into battle at Gettysburg by the great grandfather of the founder of T/C and was the inspiration for their modern line of Hawken rifles. The...

    Can you guys school me on grades of Hawkens? Quality, value, etc.

    I would recommend buying the cheapest one you can find with a good bore. Because once you start shooting and tinkering with it you will be looking for a better higher quality one pretty quick and before you know it you will own several.

    A percussion muzzleloader

    The Hawken guard was probably put on there to help hold the stock together. It look like it is cracked. Looks like a wood screw sticking out the back scroll. Pretty neat looking gun.

    A percussion muzzleloader

    The bridge going to the castle has Train cars or cars on it. So can't be to old.

    You don't need a hole, just tie it around the tail.

    My balls

    There may be a washer between the cutter and the mould, if so take it out and put on top of the cutter. I bought a used mould one time that had a washer on top and bottom of the cutter. It would leave a large sprue. I have great success with Lyman moulds, but they do take longer to heat up than...

    Investarm Hawken question

    All T/C .54 that I have seen are 1" ATF. I fit a Green Mountain drop in that was made for an Investarm to a T/C frame. I had to change out the breech plug to a T/C and cut the barrel rib off about 3/16 inch. The snail was not cut out to fit the T/C lock plate correctly. If you are not wanting...

    MTN ARMS INC. OZARK MO USA

    It favors my .36 muskrat, but I don't think the muskrat came in a .54. I also have a .50 OMA.

    Should I Buy This?

    After a little research, that gun may be well worth the 3k if it belonged to George "Baby Face" Nelson. "Jeasus saves but George Nelson withdraws"
