I stumbled across a decent TC carbine with a round barrel in a pawnshop for $150.

Would that be a High Plains Sporter or New Englander? If so, those aren't Hawkens (these are all models that were made by T/C). It would help if you know the model since some are priced higher than others.
As far as terminology goes, the T/C Hawken isn't really a replica of a real Hawken. They just gave it that name because it sounds cool. None of these models are replicas of any historical gun, but for reference purposes you could lump them all into the "half-stock plains style" category.
$150 for one of these T/C guns would be a great price, if it's in good shape. If it's a rust bucket or all beat to hell, I'd keep looking. There are plenty of other used guns out there. Have you had a close look at it?
