I had a T/C hawkin that would not hold a pattern.a gunsmith told me the barrel was wore out. I returned it to T/C and they told me the same thing. it was about 30 years old.

they sent me a brand new gun.the only thing I got back that was old,was the ramrod.it was marked and stripped.

the man at T/C said we have a reeeeeal good warrenity.they do.

if you think it is bad,send it back and they will replace it.
