A new high price for a T/C Hawken

[Dbasiliere]

Hello guys, I have a .50 TC Hawken that I made from a kit in the late 70s and if I say so myself it is a wonderful example! I did have the barrel professionally blued, and it looks like a pristine modern firearm as far as fit and finish is considered.

I shot it back then, and it was a tack driver at 100 yards, open sights. Maybe not tacks, but if you could see it, you could hit it. If you set the trigger and used the hair trigger, you would never miss because it would always startle you.
I have not shot black powder since those days. I moved, and my BP friends moved on, therefore I am willing to sell it for $600.

I also have a .50 Caliber CVA Mountain Pistol that I made from a kit (blued barrel) and I would sell that as well. It was fun to shoot them as a pair. They shared loads, except I used FFF for the pistol and that made it "rip". Less unburned powder out the barrel. 50 yards, it would punch through both side of a steel barrel.

They both shot balls well, however the Hawken hit harder with the big bullet type slugs.

If I do not shut up, I will be wanting to keep them.

I finished an older kit a couple of years ago, I shot it to sight it in and killed one deer with and put it up. I reshaped the stock t be more pleasing to the eye than the standard version. I would suspect it would bring big bucks but it has become a family heirloom and isn't going anywhere.

If you want to sell it, it needs to be in the Classifieds, need to read the rules.

Nice wood, nice wokmanship.

I guess I need to get my believer fixed. A T/C Hawken flintlock with "Presentation" wood just sold for over $1100 on GB!
I guess the new owner really like T/C rifles.

I'm pretty sure my skip checkered /rice barreled /Lee Shaver sights Renegade might exceed that by a bit/Ed

Sorry about that. I am new to this forum. I will remove it here and put it there.
