Can't judge a book by it's cover.
Okay fellas, what's wrong with this item? Now, I'm fairly good at spotting M/L kit guns but this hybrid, kind of jumped out at me. Just trying to give folks a heads-up on what you can run into out there when shopping for an M/L. ....
Mods, you won't hurt my feelings, if you want to delete this post. ..... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=409154039 Be Safe !!!

Nothing wrong with it. I think the mainspring is a coil spring though.

Yep, don't see anything out of place. Thanks for posting though. I have that exact rear sight in my parts box. Bottom has a T/C stamp, always wondered what model it originally come on

Other than being a freakazoid the only thing that looks out of place is that the trigger guard doesn't look like brass but that's probably just the lighting.

My White Mtn doesn't have a Hawken stock. It also came with a single trigger. I don't know if would refer to this one as being a hybrid. More like something shortened, pieced & adapted to fit together. Whom ever put this rifle together found it probably doesn't function as well as he thought it would. So here's a chance of someother to bid on a one of a kind T/C Hawken Renegade White Mtn whatever.

IMHO, it's a parts gun - a WMC bbl dropped into a Hawken stock/etc. . |

Is the center thimble set up for a sling to hook onto?
