The 28 inch octagonal blued steel barrel provides a traditional Hawken profile and is secured by a wedge-pin system with a hooked breech for straightforward barrel removal. The bore condition is noted as clean with well-defined rifling.
Sighting is handled by a dovetailed blade front and an adjustable open rear, both in iron, offering a practical, period-correct setup. The rifle carries clear factory markings: "THOMPSON | CENTER ARMS ROCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE CAL 50."
The hardwood half-stock includes a left-side cheekpiece and is complemented by brass furniture throughout: buttplate, patchbox, trigger guard with finger spur, forend nose cap, and wedge escutcheons. An under-barrel ramrod is fitted in place.
The percussion caplock action uses an external hammer and is paired with double-set triggers featuring adjustable set engagement. Capacity is single-shot, consistent with traditional muzzleloaders.
Factory scroll engraving on the hammer and lockplate adds a refined touch, and the rifle is a U.S.-made reproduction of the classic Hawken pattern. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches.
