    Shot in a T/C Hawken

    Good point! Just curious. Saw someone do it on YouTube, and he must have had a smooth bore. Thanks everyone!

    Shot in a T/C Hawken

    Just wondering if you can use small shot in a TC Hawken .50 cal. Can't see hunting squirrel with a .50 cal round ball :).

    Patches

    I've been making smoke with my T/C Hawken .50 cal that I got earlier this month. I've been having trouble with accuracy and finally found a patch and figured out why it was so difficult to find them”¦they're shredded and burnt. I've been using 80g of Pyrodex, a .490 ball and .015 pre-lubed...

    Loads for T/C Hawken

    I just got my new-to-me .50 cal T/C Hawken and was wondering what some suggestions everyone had for powder loads. I just casted a bunch of .490 round balls, I have Pyrodex RS and .015 pre-lubed patches. I'd like to sight it in at 100 yards and I'll be using it for white-tails.

    New (used) T/C Hawken

    I'm getting a used T/C Hawken in a couple weeks and have a bunch of questions, but my first one is about ramrods. I'd like to get a delrin ramrod, but everywhere I go online they are out of stock. Anyone know where I can find one?

    Buying Second-hand

    Just put money down on a T/C Hawken .50 at a gun shop near my hometown. Excellent condition for $340. Plus the shop owner told me that the seller is putting the money towards the upkeep of the local cemetery. The cemetary that my grandparents, great-grandparents, other family members and a...

    It's the trade rifle not the GPR, though.

    Buying Second-hand

    Just looked at the Lyman, he said it was never fired. Looked at the breech with a bore light and it looked as though it had not been fired. It's in really nice shape overall, looks new.

    Buying Second-hand

    Well, here's what happened. I went to the gun shop, looked at the Hawken again, And noticed some rust spots, a crack in the stock, and had him remove the nipple and saw that was rust underneath. Told him I thought $400 was a little too high. He said that he marks the prices what he thinks is...

    Buying Second-hand

    I agree. I looked online at some before seeing this one, and never did feel too comfortable buying one online. I think I'll go back to the shop tomorrow and offer $250 and see where it goes. It'll be fun to haggle anyway.

    Buying Second-hand

    Thanks for the info. The bore looks good, however I didn't remove the nipple, didn't know you could do that right there. The lock IS functional but didn't want to dry fire it. I did notice that the triggers were slightly wiggly, not sure if that is something to bring up in negotiating. Any...

    Are the prices on consignment guns negotiable? Never gotten one before.

    Buying Second-hand

    Hi, this is my first time posting, so I'm sorry if this was covered on another thread. I've decided to go with a muzzleloader for hunting season this year, and am looking at a used T/C Hawken .50 caliber at a local gun shop. I've looked at it once, had the guy drop a bore light down, and the...

    From New York

    Hi, I'm from upstate New York and love my area's history that was built on traditional firearms. I'll be just staring out with muzzleloading this hunting season, and am looking at one in particular second hand, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions in the near future.
