Nice save....

Nothing wrong with that rifle, good price and cleaned up very nice, it's a dead ringer for my first BP rifle which put a few deer on the ground, sold it to my neighbor years back to help finance my first custom build. As far as I know he is still hunting with it and doing well.

Nobody is perfect...

as my wife reminds me all the time. Have only 2 faults, first is everything I say and the second is everything I do.

 

[Urban Coyote]

Nice score, there are still some good deals out there. Imagine, a whole rifle for the price of about, perhaps less than, 5 tins of percussion caps, Wow!

 

[mushka]

You have a good rifle there. I would have bought it at that price even though I didn't need it. I'm one of those that is interested more in function than looks and it looks like you fared well in both.

I agree, nice job with the clean up and a good find for what you paid. The Hawken style gun is my favorite type. T/C and CVA were the big deals back when I was getting started in BP at 16 yrs old 1986. I bought a renegade kit and assembled it. Wish I had gotten a Hawken instead. I have 3 now.

Great job cleaning it up; this one was meant to be yours

 

[jimairwin]

Yes, it's a CVA Hawken.

NOT A HAWKEN! May be stamped so, but it's not.
Damn shame the many movies furthered the mis-identification.

 

[Okie Hog]

A very good find. Fine job of cleaning u.p th e rifle.

Who cares the rifle is not an original Hawken?

 

[TGJaeger]

Ryhno,
Nice find and an even better job of refurbishment! That lil’ gal has been waiting all her life for someone to be kind to her, show her a bit of love and take her dancing. Now, go make some meat with her and take pictures. We really like pictures.

Now, the rest of ya’all, stop being mean to us old timers! We already have a full-time person assigned to that role…they are called a “wife”…

Hawkin......I doubt if anybody on this board has a REAL Hawkin. If they do let us see it. Everything else is a fabrication regardless of what it's called.

Exactly! I love my “clones.” It would be great to have any original, but my modern reproductions sure are fun too.

Nice find for the price and nice cleaning job i can never find any muzzleloaders in the pawn shops around here because most of them don't loan money on them but I did buy a T/C Hawken for sale in a local classifieds for $200 and it was a finished kit gun that had never been fired

Nice! I would not hesitate to drop $200 on one.

 

[brushblind]

That's a very good pick and a great cleanup!

Yes sir I called the guy and it was a 45min drive to pick it up but I luckily got there before anyone else did .The lock plate has the case coloring gone looks like it was sanded off but I bought another one off Ebay just got it in the mail and have not installed it yet

 

[Dale Lilly]

Y'all do need to haunt the pawn shops. I bought a CVA Hawken recently for $125. It was in good shape except for a bit of exterior rust. I modified it just as a project. It turned out very well. Polecat
