The 28-inch full-octagon blued steel barrel provides a long sight radius and classic Hawken profile. Its hooked-breech design, secured by a single transverse wedge, allows quick, tool-less barrel removal for cleaning or transport.
The flintlock sidelock ignition is paired with a double-set trigger system featuring user-adjustable set engagement, enabling a light, consistent release when set. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
Stocked in walnut, the half-stock features a left-side cheekpiece and a right-side inletted round-lid patchbox. Brass furniture includes the crescent buttplate, trigger guard, and wedge-key escutcheons. Sling swivel studs are fitted at the underrib up front and at the toe in the rear.
Sighting is handled by a dovetailed front blade and an adjustable open rear sight with windage and elevation, with Thompson/Center branding observed on the rear sight. A wood ramrod rides beneath the barrel on an underrib with two pipes.
The factory rollmark specifies black powder or Pyrodex only. This single-shot muzzleloader is made in the USA and follows the proven T/C Hawken pattern that emphasizes straightforward field service and traditional handling.
