I am looking at a brand new, in the box T/C Hawken, .50cal. Percussion. Beautiful piece of wood, great brass. Gun shop find. How much is it worth? Owner wants 550. but that sound high to me. Any ideas?

 

[bubba.50]

It IS high. But it is also sadly becoming "the new normal" to pirate a phrase.

 

[azmntman]

Bubba is right, he will get that price, question is will you pay it. These are getting hard to find and the condition described sells.

I was in a shop in central PA over the weekend. They had a used TC Hawken, persuasion, .54 caliber. Gun was in good shape. Price was $495. I offered $450, he said no! He said he’ll wait, and he’ll get $495 for it.

 

[moose23]

Sorry…percussion. Not persuasion

 

[Steve Martin]

Go ahead and just buy it man. You'll look like genius in 6 months the way prices are going!

Also, my local muzzleloader shop just got $550 for a used TC Renegade. I know this because my brother is the one who bought it. If I were you, I’d buy that gun RIGHT NOW!!

 

[Dale Lilly]

Not high. I have one that is from a kit ... beautifully done [not by me] and probably unfired. No way would I sell it for $550... Dale

 

[mooman76]

Offer 450 or 500. Price of everything going up.

NIB Hawkens often sell at prices up to $800.

$375 for decent shape TC Hawken at last week's gunshow. No buyers. Depends on where you are and what season you're in at the moment. That one had only one minor scratch, decent bore. Factory rifle, not a kit.

I know a guy who was in a gun shop a couple of years ago talking guns with owner and the topic TCs came up, the owner said he had a bunch of them new in the box from years ago he couldn't sell and would take $150 each for them. Turns out there were ten of them both Renegades and Hawkens, the owner wanted to keep a couple that had nice wood. My friend brought the rest still in the boxes. He sold what he bought quickly and doubled his money, if he had only knows the direction TCs would have gone he would have had a gold mine.

I just bought a new in the box ( stock has finish applied ) Lyman 54 cal Big Bore mountain rifle kit. Shipped to me for $525. If that can be of any kind of comparison. Maybe I just got an exceptionally good buy.

 

[dave951]

It's probable that somebody will buy it at that price and part it out on fleabay.

 

[MSW]

all things considered, i'd go for it.

 

[rmark]

I bought a nice TC Hawken .54 for $375 plus shipping a few days ago.

Just for comparisons sake. I just found today a Fox Ridge Outfitters catalog I think was from 2007 (?, the catalog was #33). A brand new Renegade from them in that calalog was $399.99, a new Hawkins was I believe was $495.99. If I take my Left Hand Lyman GPR that I got aound 2010 I think it was $380 as an example, the last I saw for a Investarms GPR was around $650-$700 new. So I would say for a NIB TC Hawkins at $550 in today's market, take it and run. You know it is new "old stock", unfired, and you aren't taking chances on the condition of the barrel. DANNY

Make an offer on it. He might be looking at clearing some shelf space. Offer $400.00, and let him counter. If he won’t budge on the price, be prepared to pay the $550.00 he’s asking. It’s a free ask.
