    I have not bought it, yet. Still working out a trade deal with a Winchester riot gun that I really don't need.

    A nice T/C Hawken or Lyman will fetch about $350.00 where I am. Price drops quickly if abused or pitted bore.

    The shops in my area try to get $300 - $400 for Hawkens and Renegades. Not many are seen though. Most have been neglected. I always look for the early ones.

    To follow up, I got the TC today. It was in the shop on consignment and the price was what the shop thought it was worth. What I didn't know was a fully stocked range box was included.
    The gun has been shot and well cared for by looking at the metal. Looking at the stock is another matter. It has been slop coated with polyurethane. While it looks great at 20 feet, up close it is terrible. However there are no dents, scrapes or gouges in the wood so getting it to look presentable should not be too difficult.

    But, best of all it is a shooter, and ready for some range time.

    Now I need to quit buying guns and get back to buying reloading tools.

    So.. "worst case", you've got some sanding and finishing in your future.
    Not too bad.
    I've not shot mine in many MONTHS.... but when I asked the family to have a "gun day" (and of course I put a bunch of yummy food on the smoker which helped them), loaded the backyard with all the guns, ammo, and etc... they finally came around and got some 'miles' on the T/C this afternoon.
    Cleaning sucks though. But I do enjoy giving the final rubdown and polish.

    If the serial number starts with a K then it left the factory as a gun kit. Which could explain the polyurethane coating. My lgs put out a real early TC Hawken this afternoon with a powder horn and a sling in good shape for 200.00

    Mine is about the same age and is a wonderful PRB shooter easily getting under 2MOA for me when my eyes were better. I probably harvested 20 black-tail and mule deer with it.
