For sale is a .50 cal. Thompson Center Hawken Rifle with the octagon barrel and adjustable set trigger. This is an early model with 5 digit serial number and was purchased new in 1976. I am the original owner. The rifle is in excellent condition with no rust and little or no damage to wood or metal. Rifled bore is bright and shiny with 1 turn in 48" twist. I only fired patched balls and rifle is very accurate. The rifle will come with the original wood ram rod, an aluminum ram rod, ball starter, powder measure, nipple wrench, extra nipple, and a T/C tang sight. I took my first whitetail buck with this rifle so it knows what to do in the woods... Please pm with questions or for additional pictures. If you request more pictures please include an email address to send pictures to (much easier than trying to post here). Looking for $500 shipped/insured for a well equipped rifle. First " I'll take it " gets the goods... Thanks, old boots

Lots of love for it, just not the funds for it right now. Two in Gymnastics has me picking and choosing, sometime the temptation is too much.

This is a great package price. The tang sight alone is a $100 bill. An easy $50 for the rest of the goodies.... Todd

Is the tang sight the ladder type or the hunter model?
