RE: where....
MAUSER check out e bay for a used or sometimes new barrel and lock.
Green mountain make an excellent fast twist barrel for your gun.Cabeals has them for sale new for about $139.00 drop in green barrel.
On the lock if you like just send it back to t/c they will repair it free of charge make sure you enclose a letter saying the lock is unreliable .They will replace the frizzen and they also have upgraded there touch hole for the flinter .

Mauser
You may be able to buy a percussion gun cheaper than buying a barrel, lock etc (if this is even achievable). Save some $$ over the Winter and get one this coming Spring or Summer. Just my humble opinion........................

P.S.---You may be better served by an inline for nasty weather. A friend of mine has a CVA Optima and loves it AND it was very inexpensive. Just a thought.

RE: where....
im not all about the inlines.....why not just take a rifle out??? i love the looks of my hawken...heck the only time ill use it is in our oct doe hunt if we have it again and maybe in rifle season if im bored with the mauser....inlines are great for states where you cant use a real rifle.....but here BP hunting is more or less fun....optional....you can use a center fire if you want.....if i lived in a stae where it was muzzleloader or slug only you know id be toting a nice inline....but not here in PA.....even a percussion is pushing it for me...but id kick myself if im messing around one day in regular rifle season and have the flinter and a buck comes and i have a misfire....but i can still have fun with a percussion....i dont know....i really think a barrel and lock will be cheaper then a new tc hawken new or used.....how much does a lock go for?? thanx guys.......loneowlf....thanx for the advice......TC can defiently deal with my gun.....the frizzen is pretty bad....and i think the geometry is bad....the hammer kinda points downward....im new to flinting and all but i dont know....im having a heck of a time finding flints for it...but the guy beside me needs flints for the same gun and his will fit...the ones i get wont...after jan 10th ill send it to them....then ill have my sights put on and sling put on so when i get it all back its like a new gun lol.....thanx alot
