Probably the same as on a 50 TC hawken, if you can google that.

It's pretty heavy, but balances nicely. Mine is in my son's safe, about 50 miles away....

Actually I think it would be a few ounces heavier than the .50 as it is most likely the same size barrel(inches across the flats) with a small hole making it heavier in weight.

The .45cal T/C Hawken weighs 9lbs.
The .50cal T/C Hawken weighs 8-1/4lbs.

The .45cal T/C Seneca weighs 7lbs.
The .45cal T/C Cherokee weighs 6-1/2lbs.


The Cherokee & Senecas are lighter than the Hawken due to thinner/shorter barrels, slimmer stocks, and scaled-down locks (compared to Hawkens).



If the barrel of a .50cal and a .45cal measure the same, flat-to-flat, the .50cal will be lighter due to having more metal bored out than the .45cal.



.45cal T/C Hawken barrels measure 15/16" thick
.45cal T/C Cherokee & Seneca barrels measure 13/16" thick, and are also a few inches shorter than Hawken barrels.
.50cal T/C Hawken barrels were made mostly measuring 1" flat-to-flat, and some few with 15/16" barrels.



All caliber T/C Hawkins were issued with 28" long barrels, except for a few target-specific guns made with a barrel a few inches longer.

All caliber T/C Cherokee's were issued with a 24" long barrel & no patchbox; all caliber T/C Seneca's were issued with a 27" long barrel
