SOLD! Thompson Hawken .50 cal. Black Powder

Recommended Posts

SOLD!

 

Thompson Hawken .50 cal. Black Powder rifle. This is a kit build, not a factory build, but very functional. I got it for a good price so I'll pass on the bargain. Got it as a back-up to my other Hawken but I find myself mainly shooting flintlocks so no need for a back-up after all. Good bore, needs a new nipple as it's mushroomed and then it's ready to fire (could probably do a little filing and make this work but why?). Great guns, very accurate, reliable, and a ton of fun! I've taken a Javelina and an Antelope with mine shooting just patched round balls and real black powder.

 

An upgraded nipple makes these Hawkens more reliable anyways. Cabelas had the Knight red hot nipple and is a 1/4"x28 for #11 caps which were just a few dollars a couple years ago when I bought mine. I'm sure Sportsman's Warehouse has them too, maybe Bass Pro. If not Trackofthewolf.com is a great Black Powder website and they sell the Hot Shot nipples and std. replacements, you can also order them directly from Thompson.

 

Get it while you can, this should go VERY fast at this price! If you're new to black powder and always wanted to try then now's your chance for cheap! I'd be more than happy to help you out at any time as far as what you'll need, loads, powder, accs. etc....

 

$135, I'll be in the Surprise area till Monday

Price reduced to $135.00 from $150 to be able to buy the nipple and still be at less than $150 out the door.

 

I can't believe this is still here for this price, I know I was all over it when I initially bought it. Great guns!

 

Just to give you an idea on price and value the unfinished kits alone used to be around $500 and the rife from factory around the $750-$800 mark.

On ebay barrels alone go for $125+, locks for approx. $50, stocks w/o barrel up to $250, triggers around $50+ hammers for $25, patch boxes $35+, sights for $50 etc..... I could split this up and part it out for easily over $300 but I'd much rather pass on the value to a CWT member who'd appreciate it and will use it.
