SOLD REDUCED Pre-warning TC HAWKEN. 50

[BigSkyRambler]

Another safe queen, but this one showing it's not always safe. Overall very good Pre-warning TC Hawken. 50. Appears unfired. Bore and snail greased. Finish on the 28", 1:48 twist barrel is probably 98%. Bore is immaculate. The stock fared worse in storage, having several noticeable dents and a crack at the toe. Latter easily repaired with glue, a vice and fine sanding. Mechanically fine and ready for deer season. $350 + Shipping.

I always thought the early barrels had deeper grooves. I bet that barrel will love a patched ball.

I have a 15/16 green mountain barrel 45 cal lrh stainless, bore is good minus to spots in it. Also it does not have sights I’d trade even for that barrel if you would be interested.

Prefer selling whole rifle, but who knows what the future holds.

The ram rod looks a little short!

It is. Probably likes really big loads. But, yeah, it's short.

What year is that? The rear sight looks different from my 1990.

Apparently TC records got burned up in early 90s. People on this forum have tried putting a general list together based on when they bought their rifles, but didn't get far, as I understand it.

My original T/C Hawken also a .50 caliber, purchased in 1974 (ish), has a 5 digit serial number 79xxx, so this one obviously predates mine.

A sure sign of the early Hawken is the high comb on the stock and the fluted rear sight.
