Local gun shop has a T/C Hawkins, 50 cal. that has good wood, but the barrel and side lock is pitted and looks like the gun was left in a barn.
It has a bullet is lodged in the bore, 6" from the hammer. I was told the powder was removed, but they left the bullet in...go figure.
I was unable to see into the bore, but it's probably like the outside.
Overall it's in poor shape, but it has all the parts, and the hammer/trigger does work.
For a project gun, would it be worth $80 to fix/repair?
What would I be looking at to get it to shoot again for a hunting?
Thanks!
