[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 2594694, member: 9066"] I can't say for certain, but I do vaguely remember a controversy in the early 70s about them. There was a fella by the name of John Baird(now deceased) who published a strictly traditional ML magazine call "The Buckskin Report". He also wrote a couple of books on the subject of "real" Hawken rifles. Seems O'John gave TC quite a bit of heck, in print, about some of their manufacturing practices...the barrels in particular. I think all this ultimately led to lawsuits. I will remain nuetral on the subject because I have no firsthand experience with any problems, as above stated, with old TCs. If You feel uneasy about your old TC Hawken, I'd have it checked out by a good gunsmith who has knowledge of traditional MLs. The person I mentioned in the PM does. [/QUOTE]
