I have a TC Hawken rifle that was a kit form. It’s put together well. The top of the barrel has been drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The holes are plugged with screws. The hammer was bent to allow clearance of a scope bell, but can be straightened with some heat. The rifle shoots really well with a .490” patched round ball and 80gr 3f Goex and is pretty decent with connicals. I haven’t spent any time trying to develop accuracy with a connical with this rifle, so I won’t make any claims, but I do think it will be a good connical shooter out to 100yds. I shot one group at 50 and one group at 100 using a maxi-ball.
There are the typical signs of use on the wood and metal. There is one larger “rub” under the for-end and is shown in pictures. The bore is nice and shiny, but discolored near the muzzle. I wouldn’t say it has pitting, but looks to be more like wear through the bluing in the bore. Has a really nice piece of Walnut. Shoots really well based on the one trip to the range. It’s not perfect, but will make somebody a really nice hunting rifle. I’m only selling to put the funds towards a larger caliber rifle/barrel. Pm with questions.
I bought it locally for $350 last year. I’d take $350 shipped to you.
Hey! Is this still available?
 
I’m sorry guys. I got really sidetracked dealing with some emergencies here at home. Rifle is still available. I removed the screws today and measured the hole depths. All were between .013”-.014”. Nice and shallow. I’m not sure what numbers are acceptable, but I know this is nowhere near the bore and after firing it a couple dozen times, I’ve had zero issues with it.
 
Also, things have calmed down around here and I can now pay attention to the forum and will remain logged in for prompt responses. I appreciate everybody’s understanding and patience.
 
Updated date card from today and photo with both rifles that I posted.
