Great info, just acquired T/C Hawken .45 Caliber Flintlock, looking forward on shooting it. Curious on when it was built. I would say its in really nice condition with no nics, scratches or cracks. The bore scope shows very good rifling no rust. Serial number K105#7. I have no history on it at all. With the prefix being "K", would mean its a kit gun and a fairly low
number in the late 70's early '80's?

I built a TC Hawken kit in the middle’70s and it has a 4 digit serial number. I suspect your gun was built manufactured around the late 70s. I have no idea how many they produced per year.
