T/C Hawken Restoration.

[Eric Krewson]

It might have been done at TC's custom shop at the request of a buyer.

What was the name of their custom shop? Something like Beavercreek

 

[Eric Krewson]

I think it was Fox Ridge Outfitters.

That's it thank you! I got a TC Hawken Flintlock in 54 caliber from them years ago

Of all my restorations/rebulds, the Hawkins are my favorites.
You've done nice work there!

Many of the early T/C rifles sported some beautiful walnut. They had their own walnut orchard I believe in Kansas. The trees were grown for one thing...gunstocks. I own a couple that are stunning.

Mine also has very beautiful wood with vertical "tiger striping" over the whole walnut stock. Sweet rifle!!!

And it's not a kit, with a serial # of 80xxx and no sign of rasping off the cheek piece. But should it have one????

It should have a cheek piece.

My dad had an old Thompson Center Hawken with a stock that look like Pine I brought it to the company 4 repair when they were still in business they put a 54 caliber Barrel on it and a beautiful Walnut stock no charge

I have the identical gun that I picked up I trade last year. Screws are the same, as is the stock color. I called TCsnd they told me mine was a early, 1st year kit gun from the serial no! Couldn’t say 1st year for sure because they lost there records in a fire...working on restoring it as a back up hunting rifle!

I made my target rifle 40 plus years ago and used two phillips head screw,s because that was what I had at the time. Four years ago I finally replaced them with brass slotted screws with the slots aligned with the barrel. The gun doesn't shoot any better with the new screws!
