Thompson center help

[Ricb]

I built a Thompson Center “Hawkin” from a kit back in 1979. The barrel came unfinished back then. By the time I draw filed it and polished it before blueing it, the serial number was pretty faint. With a little more work, the number would have been gone. The finish on the barrel is much nicer than that on a factory finish. Perhaps that’s why no number on yours?

Patch box and nose cap. Hawken for sure.

Never underestimate the capabilities of a bunch of stupid people.

That pic isn't very good but blown up it has brass fittings and a patch box. She's a Hawken.

So My Life/Wife, the lovely RHD (Red Headed Devil) Tracey might not be joshing me. Thought she was kidding with the white cane, learning braille course and the big dog with a outlandish harness she got me for my last birthday.

Having to use the end firing position at the meets. You know the ones that are two blocks over and behind three berms. They got the narrow starting gate that only lets you go in one direction. And the targets have bells and flashing lights the Rang Master sets off.

I don't know, might be something to this.
