I just picked up a :
32” Octagon -- .50 caliber Sharon Barrel Co. for a Thompson Center Hawken Muzzle loading Rifle..
With new nipple , Flat Black Barrel , under rib , thimbles , wedge lug , T/C rear sight and 3/8” dovetail post front sight..
NEW , LOOKS TO BE UNFIRED!! Read it might be a 1-72" twist barrel?
IT DID FIT in my Thompson Center Hawken Muzzle loading Rifle!!
Marked for Black Powder ONLY! 50 cal.
Sharon Rifle Barrel Co. went bankrupt in July 1978.
What might it be worth?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

According to a previous conversation with Gun Works owner, Joe Williams, he bought the rifling equipment after they closed and it's now producing barrels under the Oregon Barrel Company banner.

There are two values to every item, what it's REALLY worth and what it's worth to someone who REALLY wants it. Based on the fact that both the barrel maker and the model of gun are no longer, I'd say $250 to $500.

I picked it up at an auction with several other T/C barrels and rifles. Here are pictures of the only stamping on the barrel. Twist is not marked on barrel.
