Muzzle Loading Rifle!

One of my proudest possessions is a T/C Hawken, .50 Caliber Flint Lock Rifle. It was given to me while I was in the US Armed Services as a going-away present. This nostalgic firearm is every bit as fine as the one my great, great granddad carried when being a part of the  Mormon settlement movement to the badlands of southeastern Utah.

Today, this famous replica captures the romance of the original, while still being manufactured to standards of a quality control that was unheard-of in the 1800’s. This weapon, like other Thompson Center muzzle-loading rifles, gives new meaning to the label of being “Made in America”. It does maintain an expected authenticity while quietly assuring us of the quality that we have grown to expect.
