Took a look at the T/C Hawken my buddy had $75 invested in.
The barrel is questionable. No bad pitting, but someone drilled & tapped it for bases and it has some external pitting.
The stock, triggers, and lock were in good shape, though.
So I saved him the devestating financial loss he was facing and gave him $75. for it.
Looks like I'll be shopping for a drop-in barrel.
