FOR SALE Ultra Hi Hawken NIB

[poker]

Heres one thats not real common. Ultra-Hi hawken in .50 caliber. Made in Japan by Miroku back in the ‘70’s. Its new in its original box. Well not new, its about 50 years old, but has never been fired.

Asking $500, good trades considered.

More pictures. Shipping extra. Itd be quite a bit cheaper to ship broken down in a smaller package. But if this is for your collection itd be worth the extra to get the original box.

Looks exactly like an early T/C Hawken except for the stamping. Possibly made by T/C for Miroku

 

[Frontier's]

Wow! Talk about a tc knock off lol. Looks great though!

How does one know the year it was made?

WAG
They made these only for a few years in the 70’s and this is a very low serial number.

Japan has been known not to pay real close attention to other nations' trademark/copyright/patent laws. in the '60's Kawasaki made a 650cc motorcycle that was about an exact copy of a British Triumph motorcycle.

Something like china today. Looks like it has a single trigger.

Whats all the whining about anyway? It seems to me that most, if not all, of the entire modern production of muzzleloading firearms are based on copying someone elses work. In fact builders pride themselves on just how close they can come to being exactly the same.

Watching OUT OF LIBERTY last night and they had what looked like a brand new TC Hawken or maybe that same pristine Miroku.

 

[OldMaineWoodsman]

That is a nice rifle. It is fit and finished better than many Italian replicas I have seen.

Miroku manufactures most of Browning Firearms by the way along with their own line of Over/Under shotguns.

TTT

 

[KEDSFAN]

It looks like a well made rifle. I wonder how many boxes were shipped before they noticed ENGPAVED should be spelled ENGRAVED.

There’s still time to get this before or for Christmas….

Although the kawasaki paralelltwin certainly had the British style twin engine and the chassis and tins styling also british, to my eye I thought it looke a bit more Royal enfield , though not an exzct copy . Unmistakenly British looking though .

I forget the exact year but, look at some early 'pre-unit construction' Triumphs and you can find one exactly like I'm talking about. And yes, it does look like a Royal Enfield a lot too.

pre unit triumphs are the ones I am most familiar with and to me the the crank cases are quite distinct compred to other Brit bikes,
I suppose it is in the eye of the beholder!

What's the ROT, did I miss that somewhere?

Is the lock the same as a T/C coil spring, with a fly in the tumble? Is the barrel twist the same as a T/C Hawken, 1' in 48"?
Thanks.
