Default fair price for a T/C Hawken

A buddy of mine said he picked up a T/C Hawken in trade this week and asked if I'd be interested in it. He's familiar with guns and said it has a bit of rust & pitting in the nipple area, but the lock and stock were in very good shape. I was thinking of picking it up with the possibility of buying a new barrel for it later. He has around $75. in it and I could probably get it for that. I plan to look at it this weekend!
Would $75. be a reasonable price if the bore is still in decent shape?

you should grab it as soon as possible if you dont like it you could probably part it out on ebay and make and extra hundred or so.

The stock alone - no hardware - just the wood is going for $100+ on Ebay add another $80 for a lock $40 for triggers and you can see that $75 is somethng to jump on SOON...

I bought a new Hawken FL on gunbroker.com 2 years ago for $300 shipped. If it has run and pitting in the nipple area, then maybe the lock needs replacing for $80 to $100. You will pay minimum $100 for a barrel to $200 for a Green Mountain replacement. Chap

I may pick it up, then buy a .32 or .40 Green Mountain barrel for it. If the .50 barrel is in good shape I'll keep it as a backup for deer hunting. I'd like to have a smallbore for plinking/hunting and this may be the way to get a good one at a fair price. Looks like just over $200 for a new GM barrel.

call them and see if there are any small caliber barrels for the Hawkins on sale. There were a lot of barrels and they were selling for $99.00 so for under $200 you'd have one of the best small caliber black powder rifles on the market.
