I bought this gun back in 1972, and shot it a lot back in those days. I even used it on prairie dogs. It's a T/C Hawken 50 cal and use to be very accurate, probably still is more than I am. I shot it in a metalic silhouette league, as well as used it for hunting. I have found some pyrodex and some maxi-balls, but am still on the hunt for some #11 percussion caps.

I can't even remember all the stuff I won shooting that thing in competition. When you take the barrel off the stock, take a look at the bottom flat, between the barrel wedge lug and the lock. Sharon Barrels are stamped with a "spade" (like in cards) shape. If so that's one of the best barrels ever made. Moosetrot
