I have a .45 cal Hawken Rifle Kit still in its box receipt says december of 1976.

I'm trying to determine whether or not there is a market for this, mint in box relic from the mid or late 70's
.

Folks IF you'd like to suggest a price for the new member to ask for the rifle kit that's fine, but REMEMBER this is not an ad, this is a thread, so no open offers to purchase. When he meets the criteria to post ads, he may post this for sale if he wishes.

And here we go...,

On gunbroker and auction sites it would sell for 700 to 1000.

There is currently the same gun on Gun Broker but in 50 cal. Its at $380 with 2 more days of bidding to go.

LD said we can’t make open offers but I’ll give what you paid for it.

Kidding aside, unmolested TC Hawken kits usually bring much more than finished kits or even factory finished guns unless the factory gun is in new unfired condition. I think Frontier’s value is in the ballpark especially if the box is in very good condition.

I bet you would.

New to the forum so maybe questionable?
PM sent so we'll see.

I bought a .50 caliber kit a year or two before the one shown here and put it together. I still have it. 45 caliber is less common. It would be fun to have a 45 TC Hawken but I definitely don’t need one. I should be thinking about down sizing at this point.

Schwing!

Which is ridiculous. I see TC Hawkens ant gun shows all the time. Last one I bought a few months ago was $300 and had never been fired.

 

[Dale Lilly]

$325 to $450 ... I just bought two finished copies by Investarms, unfired, at a pawnshop for less.

Nothing to do with the actual post but 60 years ago my mom and aunts used to call me Willie Lump Lump!! Never knew why and hadn’t had that thought in probably 40 years. LOL

That's investarm, not tc. The TCS go nuts on auction sites.

 

[solitare1340]

There is definitely a market for that , but I would leave it as is and hang on to it . Value will only go up in original box.

Looks like it is from the hawken brother shop.
Real deal
700.- 1200.
What's it worth sir

 

[BS2366]

Build it and shoot it or sell it. That's what I would do.

Well, I agree. However, not long ago my wife bought me a TC Hawken ,45, Christmas present,, at a pawn shop, for $150. It has the nicest stock I have ever seen on a TC and is otherwise very clean. Sometimes good things happen. Dale [BTW both Investarms are nearly pristine]

 

[williewillylumplump]

Thanks folks, you have been very helpful. I appreciate you. If I do sell the gun I will be taking 10 to 20 percent of the amount realized and giving it to your guys website here.

Apples to oranges. These tc kits fetch big bucks. Brand new, in the box, never bubbad or abused.

 

[BS2366]

I'm going to tear my TC apart, strip the finish, and sell it as a $700 kit!

 

[deerstalkert]

there is definitely a market, separate from completed kit guns. a vintage kit unmolested is like the unopened Barbie dolls.
that said, it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. put it on an auction sight and let it run. or list it here when you are able to and put a ridiculous high price on it. you will get many messages telling you what it is "worth"
