I saw in a gunshop today a T/C Hawken flintlock for $200. It had a brass ramrod. The bore looked like it was in OK condition. The stock was not in the greatest shape--it had a few scratches on one side. The big problem with it though I found was the lock when pull back to full cock did not always catch on the tumbler. So my question is if I were to buy this gun would T/C's lifetime warranty cover the lock even though I am not the first owner? If so what do you guys think of its price?
I also saw another CVA Hawken for $150 that had a pewter ramrod entry cap and used German silver for the patchbox and buttplate. The stock seemed to be in good condition as was the bore. The barrel was not marked as to where it was made. I have heard that CVA used to make their rifles in the US and that they were very good and were even used for competition shooting. Do you guys think this is one of those made in the US rifles?
