I got my T/C Hawken today

[tom in nc]

I bought a deal in a like new T/C .50 cal Hawken today. I already had a very nice, well cared for .45 cal Kentucky rifle. Now I am looking for a smaller caliber, either .32 or .36 rifle to complete my "set".

Not a very good pic but here's my "new" $100 Hawken posing with my Dart .45 cal rifle.
The Dart is a '77 model according to the serial number. From serial number discussions on here the .50 cal T/C Hawken should be 2004-06. I'd like to have about a dozen more at the price I paid for it!View attachment 23529

I don't think a "dart" rifle fits into the type of guns we talk about on the Muzzleloading Forum.

Seems to me that round lead balls and some elongated lead bullets were in fashion back in 1865 and earlier.

Most will know that Mr moderator was injecting a little humor with the dart comment but just in case.

I'm kidding too, of course. But a newbie might actually think it shoots darts.

Excellent find in that T/C.

I found and bought another rifle this week, my first flintlock, a CVA 50 cal Hawken. See it in the flintlock forum. I believe it was made in the late 70s or early 80s. The bore is perfect.
