Thompson Center Cougar hawkins
Ok guys I need your help, I picked up a .50 cal TC Hawkins cougar today at an estate sale for 20 bucks. any good bad or other info about this rifle would be greatly appreciated. It appears it very good condition overall, the only bad thing I have found is the stock has a hairline crack at the wrist, what do you think the chances are of TC having a stock to fit it... thanks for your help in advance

That was an awesome price. I can't find one for less than $500 and I've been looking for years. I did get 1 of 500 T/C Hawken Silver Elite that is basically the same rifle with the fancy walnut stock and stainless hardware except for the Cougar logo. I paid $350 for that one. I have the blued barrel oiled up and stored in my safe and got a SS Green Mtn LRH barrel for it. Looks real sharp.
So you got a great deal.

I doubt if they have any of the cougar stocks. I thought they had a better grade wood? As for the crack, take it to a person that builds rifles and have then check it. Might be a simple fix. For what you have invested in the rifle, you sure could not complain if it cost you a couple dollars to fix that stock.
A very nice find.
