I picked up another TC .50 cal Hawken just like the one I traded for about 3 months ago, only this one was a kit and it looks like the only thing done to it was the stock was stained then it was put together. The barrel was still in the white and the brass is still very rough. The bore is as slick as glass and the rest is in very good shape just never finished. Didn't get the instructions but I think I can do a lot to improve the looks. Will try to send pictures one day.
