T/C hawken
I recently bought a T/C hawken from a guy, It worked fine when I tried it before I bought it. But now the hammer will not stay in the fire position unless it pulled back pretty good. From what I am told T/C offers a lifetime warranty on their firearms. Is this true and if it is, is it only good for the original owner?

Has it been cleaned good and oiled. Take the barrel off and the lock out see if it needs a good lube job or if something is broken. If something is broken contact TC and see what they recommend. They have a good rep.
I always stressed to my son"one shot one kill that was all that is needed". When He came home from Marine Corp Boot camp He was telling me about the Marines stressing "ONE SHOT ONE KILL" He looks at me and the light bulb went on Dad was now a whole lot smarter than he was 13 weeks ago.

Re: T/C hawken
T/Cs are lifetime guaranteed except those with serial numbers beginning with the letter K. These are guns made from kits and they have no control over how these were put together, at least thats what the paperwork with mine says..

Re: T/C hawken
Thanks, for the info guys. I just checked mine has a K as the first letter. Although it doesn't look like a kit gun to me. I had it apart a few times to clean and check to see if anything was broke. I guess I'll have to just get ahold of T/C and see what they say. Thanks again

Re: T/C hawken
Not so, at least on mine. I had to draw file the barrel flats to remove tooling marks. All the brass castings were slightly rough. Stocks were really a mess and required a lot of fitting. Only the lock was finished. When I finally got it finished it was nicer than any you could buy. I used a light red stain and then six coats of Birchwood Casey, steel wooling between each coat. This was in 1981. Maybe the later kits were finished, but mine sure was not. And, oh. I paid $89 for it on end of season sale.
XD, just a quick thought. Did you check the screw that holds the hammer on?Last edited by Karl/PA; January 18th, 2010 at 09:32 PM.

Re: T/C hawken
Yeah, I tore it all down and cleaned and oiled everything. It appears that there's like a latch that swings down. But something won't let the hammer move back far enough unless you pull hard. I also have a lyman great plains are the hammers similar? Maybe ill tear it down and look at it.
