Almost feel like breaking down TC’s

Have been noticing lately if i play around with the search terms under Blackpowder category on Ebay i find much more interesting(cheaper) parts. some listers get to sophisticated with their listings and they show up in limited areas.
still, a TC Hawken percussion lock for 275.00 buy it now?????????? about spit coffee on my keyboard.

I lucked out a few weeks ago, I walked into my local gun store and there in the rack was a CVA Big Bore Mountain rifle in .58cal. I asked to see it. It was in need of some Love’n. When I seen the tag at $150 bucks I bought it. This is after I refinished it! Wish I had taken pictures of it before I started

I would have caused a wind storm getting 150.00 out and in his hand so fast!
that rifle has been on my bucket list forever! and my bucket is getting pretty used up!
my pawn shop has gone almost 100% black rifles.

have never had a .58!
60 years of inhaling BP smoke and not one .58
something wrong with that picture!
personally i feel the Mountain rifle was CVA's ultimate offering.

Agreed! Always wonder why some companies don’t Seem to realize when they have a good thing and they just don’t stay with it. I bet if they offered it again with let’s say an improved Lock and triggers it would be a Hit!

10-4 on the lock and trigger, yet my mtn rifle is at least 50 years old and though i have had to replace the main spring, it still functions fine!
the old cva's hold a place in my collection.

That's how I came to acquire my first Hawken. Trolling the gun shop one day and came across a T/C Hawken in the rack for $130. Only thing wrong was a missing nipple. Figured for that price I could afford to try muzzleloading.
