    One thing to watch on the Hawk is the pin that secures the mainspring. If the holes through which the pin is secured are elongated or egg shaped, the rifle may discharge without warning. Trouble is the walls of the cylinder were too weak to stand too much use and the pin would sometimes wear the edges of the pivot holes.

    From what i have seen so far it is in pretty good shape metal work wise. Just the hideous coloured stock. Oh well time for a project renovation to take place.
