Yes!
I will be again as soon as I get my barrel back from Bobby Hoyt. Soon I hope.

I will as well as long as I can get across the creek for the 100 yd range.

If Clementine can beat Drachenfeuer or the new kid, Mort R, to the SUV it'll be her last chance (oh yeah, mine too). My best hope might be to fill Mort's belly with some 00 buck and give that a whirl.

I should try again with my Kibler SMR .40. I sold the T/C Hawken I made the first with.

I've tried to sell my TC a couple times, always glad later that I didn't
 Maybe the new revived Thompson Center will offer the hawken once more.

Or, the way they were going before S&W bought them, it will probably be an inline with the Hawken name on it.  :scared:

Over the last many years, I have owned quite a few T/C's.  In retrospect, I have always been pi$$ed that I sold them.  What was I ever thinking?  In terms of original cost with the value of winnings with them, it was always a profitable deal, but darn, I really liked some of them.  Especially my first Renegade.  By the time I was through with it, it really didn't look like a TC, and with the 36" Douglas Premium barrel on it, it didn't really shoot like one, either.  Last I heard, it went to Texas in 1984 or so.  Bye bye.

I still have all my TC's.  Last count was 1 New Englander, 5 Hawkens and 3 Renegades and the unmentionable Fire Hawk.  One of my Renegades is hardly a TC anymore either.  It has two .62 barrels one rifled and one smooth.  Sports a Brad Emig tuned L&R lock and a full stock curly maple replacement stock for it.  One of these days I should probably put them up for sale as I am not getting any younger and have stopped hunting.     :bigsmile:

Well, I developed a powerful fondness for Longrifles especially flintlocks. I kept my T/C Hawken Flintlock ,50 and sold off the .45 and .36s. was that a mistake? I don't think so, I haven't regretted it yet. I have developed a case of Kibler-itis, though.
