This .54 caliber Thompson Center Hawken percussion rifle is ready to shoot. This rifle is stocked in American black walnut with brass furniture, and blued 28" straight octagon barrel. This rifle has seen very little use and the bore is bright and well maintained. Weight is 8.9 pounds, and with a trigger reach of 14", the rifle is perfectly setup for today's average sized shooter.
The factory polished blued barrel is .54 caliber, 1" octagon, 28" length. The front sight is Thompson Center's red fiber optic bead sight. The rear sight is the green fiber optic with click adjustable for elevation, and screw adjustable for windage. The bluing appears to be as-new. The bore is bright and clean, with crisp rifling grooves. We recommend our .530" round ball, .015" patch, and Mink Oil tallow patch lubricant, over a charge of 70 grains of GOEX FFg black powder. This rifle pre-dates the QLA muzzle and the bore is rifled all the way to the end of the muzzle.
The American black walnut stock is factory varnished to a dark brown with reddish undertone and finished to a satin sheen. The stock has a few small marks on the toe. The buttplate, patchbox, nosecap, and triggerguard are brass, which has aged to a patina. Our top view shows the hooked breech of the barrel, which can be dismounted by removing the ramrod and wedge key, for easy cleaning. The ramrod is fitted with brass tips. The rear tip is threaded 10-32 to accept loading and cleaning accessories. The ramrod is retained by two round brass pipes. The single lock bolt has a round brass washer-style side plate. The beaver tail cheek piece is shaped for a right hand shooter.
Our lock view shows the color case hardened percussion lock, factory engraved by Thompson Center. The lock has heavy brown speckling, and the hammer cup has deep pitting. This lock works smoothly, with a strong mainspring, and fly detent to allow the use of double set triggers. The breech is fitted with a stainless steel Hot Shot nipple for No. 11 percussion caps. Correctly adjusted, you may cock the lock, or set the trigger, in any sequence. Turn the tiny set trigger adjustment screw, between the two triggers, inboard to reduce the set trigger release tension. Or turn it fully inboard, to disable the set trigger feature, when hunting in very cold climates, where a numb finger might release the light set trigger too early.
This rifle appears to have been little used and has a mellow patina from long storage. The rifle has factory fiber optic sights and the bore is bright and well maintained. It will serve you well in the woods this Fall or at the range! Order it for a ten day visual inspection. You will be delighted. Else if it does not fit you, return it in unfired condition for same-day refund. Postage is your only risk, when you order any one-of-a-kind gun from Track, whether new, used, or antique.
