I concur with the OP! A shame! I got my first T/C Hawken .50 cal in about ‘73. A well built and accurate rifle! Sold it to a kid who was just getting into muzzleloading.

Edit! Just realized I still have the Lyman RB mold and handles that came with it in the "starter" kit. Still using it!!!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
