Picked up a T/C Hawken

[Hylander]

I probably posted I wouldn't get another T/C Hawken.
I lied
It just kept staring at me at work.
Anywho, today I ordered a new barrel for it from Jason at Rice barrels.
50 cal., 30", 1:66,
He is going to install my new breech plug I sent him and I will do the rest.
I plan on browning it.
This is how I got it.
Bore was bit rusty but no pitting.

Nice.

Nice aquisition, I am looking for one with a bad bore (cheap) to send off to Mr. Hoyt for a .54 bore. Still looking. Where I'm from, you just don't see to many around for sale anymore.

If the bore had no pitting why replace the barrel?

I want a slow twist with deep grooves for RB
