TC Hawken. 45 cal 25 yr anniv model

[DaveShooter]

Came across a gem today at a flea mkt of all places. A TC 25 year Anniv model of a .45 cal Hawken Muzzleloader. I will give it a good cleaning. Was wondering what is something like this worth?? Anyway looks good setting net to my 50 cal -Hawken. Thanks as Any info would sure be very helpful.

What did you pay for it? That's what it is worth, at least to the previous owners.

I would say $400 retail if in perfect condition.

I know a guy that got $700 for one a few years back,, but that thing was mint.
Not a ding or scratch on the stock, the barrel bluing and breech was pristine.

I know I cleaned this baby up all day long and oiled and hand rubbed stock an it looks mint compared to what it used to look like when I brought it home yesterday. Barrel and everything else is in mint condition. Fellow whom had it from what I understand passed on God rest his soul. I traded one of my crossbows for it as I have 3 of those Excalibur crossbows and the guy who sold it gave me an 100.00 bill and this rifle.
So now I got 2 side locks which are TC 45 and 50 cal Hawkens and 3 in lines in my safe. I love these old side locks for sure.... :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Prices and values on TC 'hawkens' are all over the board. Some sell here and on Ebay for up to $700.00. I have seen them on tables at gun shows for $100.00 and $150.00 going unsold. There are a lot out there. If considering buying one, check bore and don't be afraid to dicker the price, even to the point of walking away. It is interesting to see how that rifle has changed modern muzzle loading and the attitudes towards it. Even here, we have seen some newcomers refer to them an "Grandpa's antique TC Hawken". We are seeing probably third generation new shooters who truly believe these rifles are genuine old timey antiques. Admittedly, at about 50 years on the market, they are getting there.

I've seen the prices across a wide range too for TC Hawkens. Often the cheaper ones are kit guns that were not well finished. If you are looking at one and the serial number begins with a "k" it was a kit gun. Function wise if it was cared for it should shoot as well as a factory assembled gun. I have one I built in the '70s and would not easily part with it.
