Hello,
I am brand new to this forum so I appologize if I ask something that has been recently answered, but if at all possible I would like to find out more info on a muzzleoader I have. It is a T/C Silver Elite Hawkens, looks very similar to a reguler hawkens but has a silver barrel and more of a reddish walnut stock. I saw this muzzleloader in a catalog years ago and instantly went to the local gun store to order one. When i did, I was told they had quit making this model due to a factory fire??? Well I went ahead and placed the order and forgot about it......six monthes later I get a call that my muzzleoader came in. The gun store owner claims TC called him and told him they had found 7 of them misplaced and sent me one. The owner bought the other six. i paid 350 bucks for mine, while the other six went on sale for around 500. Recently I have tried to look the gun up but cant find ANYTHING about it!! Is this a fairly rare muzzleloader? Is the shop owners story sound correct? How much is one of these worth now days? I do know the serial number seems low S3XXX??? Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!!
