The Hawkens-style are my favorite MLs. You can buy all kinds of aftermarket barrels for yours at trackofthewolf.com. They are fine Green Mountain barrels that slip right in. Need help finding the correct size for your T/C Hawkens... just ask here.

Both these are extremely accurate with round balls, and also shoot Maxiballs quite well. I have the .50 set up to use an aperture rear sight or a scope, as desired. The .45 is equipped with open, aperture, and scope sights.
Another is a "Jedediah Smith Commemorative Santa Fe Hawken of ".54" caliber which is IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY to the rifle Jedediah Smith was carrying when the Comanches killed him on ther Cimarron Cutoff of the Santa Fe Trail in 1831, and sold his guns to the Mexicans in Santa Fe. It is rifled 1/60", and the original rifle, which was used for the pattern for this gun, is in a museum in Santa Fe this very day! I have never shot anything but a .530" PRB in it, and it shoots better than I can aim it with those open sights!
The other one is a .577" caliber, 36" barreled fullstock flintlock that I made myself using a 1" across-the-flats barrel from theGreen River Rifle Works in Roosevelt UT. It also shoots PRB or a 570-grain .575" Minie ball extremely well with nothing but iron sights. It is also rifled 1/60". My standard load in this gun is 120 grains of FFg with either the PRB or the Minie. Kicks like hell with that Minie!

I had a TC Renegade. It was a very nice shooting gun but i didnt buy it brand new. And personally, I dont think the TC hawken is worth $500. Thats just taking advantage of people badly. All of Tc's guns are over priced. You can buy a cva hawken or a traditions hawken for between $285-300 and it will shoot just as good. Theres a pic of what my cheap $277 traditions kentucky flintlock rifle shot at 100 yards off the back of a 4 wheeler. I'll put that gun up against any $500+ rifle. Take The Lyman rifles for example. Most people ive heard talk about them on forums are asking why they are shooting 2 1/2" grounds at 50 yards! Lyman rifle costs over $400 and its shooting crappy 2 1/2" groups at that short of distance? Pretty crappy groups for the money they charge if you ask me.
