    Serial Number Dating a T/C

    I was given a .45 Hawken (though Hawken is not stamped on the barrel) a couple of weeks ago, by a friend who said it belonged to her grandfather, who bought it in the early 70's. #54319

    I have a sneaking suspicion that someone at T/C is reading this p

    Nope. No reply, no acknowledgement, no nothing. No harm, no foul. She's working. But only because of the good folks here. I know they can't trace serial numbers back as old as this one probably is, so that may have been a problem for them.

    When I spoke with the fellow last week and was told I could expect a prepaid return label in my e-mail within 48 hours, I thought Wow! Great service. I never got it, so I went to their website, filled out the request form with all the required info and never got it there either. Not even so much...

    Hmmmm...adjustability? Reckon that's worth looking into.

    Still some tweaking to be done. Half-cock is less than a 1/4 inch and I'm guessing that's not right. Not enough room for the capper. Ahhh...I love a challenge.

    She lives!! I took necchi's advice and tugged on it with a pair of needle nose and it still wouldn't come out all the way, but enough that I could put the butt end of a pair of tweezers on it and force it back in and out several times and eventually it came loose. Cleaned it up good and all is...

    Just tried to tap it out and it won't budge. Afraid to get too aggressive. Maybe I should just leave it to T/C?

    Roundball, thanks to your drawings I was able to isolate the problem. Having absolutely no experience with the guts of a side lock I was able to determine the sear plunger, for whatever reason, is stuck in the "up position". I'm still waiting for the repair order from T/C but if anyone has any...

    Thanks again Roundball. And Birdman, that's a good idea. I will mark it just to see how it shakes out.

    So much to re-learn, so many questions.

    Thanks. I called them yesterday and they are sending me a prepaid shipping lable and will rebuild it. No mention of cost, but I think you're right.

    Belay that last message! I just got off the phone with Tom at T/C. He says I can't buy the lock parts but he'll send me a free return shipping lable to send the lock back and have it rebuilt. Didn't mention cost but that's not important. Can't be much. Less than the real cost of shipping...
