Info on T/C .54 Hawkin ML
My local gun dealer has a LIKE NEW .54 hawkin rifle that he is willing to let go for 200.00. I looked it over and do not think it has ever been shot. Is this a good deal for it? What kind of specs does it have? twist???? And what kind of performance could I expect? Will it shot balls and conicals? I have a Encore and love it but this would be my first sidelock.

You better buy that before he sobers up!
The rifle has a 28" barrel, 1:48 twist, will shoot roundball and conical, and will harvest anything you want to hunt in America. As for performance, most traditional rifles like powder. Mine shoots 90 grains and a roundball with amazing accuracy. Even if this is a Traditions, Lyman, CVA, or Thompson Center.. in new condition is well worth $200.00

Grad it - i just sold a 50 cal TC Hawken for $400.... I had it on consignment at a local gun store, the owner said he could get $450, but settled on $400. It was also very slightly used.

What was the name of that Local Gun shop? I'd be happy to check it out for you!
I own the Thompson Renegade which is the same gun without all the fancy brass. I put a Green Mountain on it and shoot .54 roundball. This is a really fun gun to shoot.

Like I said it is brand new....................Never have shot a traditional before, It has a very nice wood stock and the brass is perfect, it is brand new never fired or at least looks it, the nipple LOOKS perfect and no powder residew anywhere. So you think I should jump on it huh?? I will call him tomarrow.
