Thank You

I have a TC Hawken serial # K90787. I wonder what year it is

 

[bore_butter]

i looked at the serial # on the new barrel for the .50hawkin that TC sent me in 1985 it's K1445##

I think part of the issue is that different models had different ranges, and I think different ranges depending on caliber within those models. And then you throw in kits, which are an additional range ( and different by model and caliber), etc.

It is plum cornfusing!

I bought my .45 T/C Hawken new in 1974 from a dealer serial #1035XX.

I have an early .50 cal T/C Hawken 4 digit SN 112x. Purchased in 2013. Trigger guard is steel. Butt plate is brass.
Is it worth anything?

Does someone have a serial # dateing table for Thompson Center Renegades and Hawkens?

Does one even exist?

That case-hardened trigger guard is nice. Yeah, it's worth 'something'

Interesting…looks like someone put a Renegade steel trigger guard on it (instead of the regular brass one). I like the case-hardened coloring.

My wife gave me a new Hawken .54 for Christmas in about 1982. Serial #268XXX. Still got the wife - and the gun!

The case-colored triggerguards were only on first year production Hawkens. There were only between 4 or 5 thousand of them.

Where's the ser.no.at on the 50 black diamond? I don't think I have any.

 

[recongarry1953]

I don't know what I'm doing, other than trying to see if my TC 50 cal.has a ser.no.becouse I can't find one. Thanks to anyone with information. [email protected].

I am not familiar with that inline, but I would hazard a guess the serial number is on the side of the barrel or action somewhere. You might try the www.modernmuzzleloader.com sister site. There are more people with inlines on there.

For whatever it's worth, my .50 Renegade kit from 85 or 86 is K30XXX. Who knows how long it sat on a shelf before I got it.

Beautiful Renegade! Beautiful browning on the barrel. My T/C Hawken kit from 1981 has a browned barrel as well (not built by me, but certainly appreciated by me ) That striping is first rate! Is it painted? I love the overall color and appearance! Two thumbs up from me! ‘Poet
