Gentleman…
I’m turning to the experts. I need some direction and advice.
My mother just recently passed away. While going thru some of her old boxes that were stored in her attic. I came across an old Markwell Arms Co. Hawken, Blackpowder .45 Cal gun kit. I haven’t seen that gun for 36 years. I always thought Mother threw it away. (She hated guns)
I remember I received the gun kit for Christmas in 1960, from my uncle Bob. He passed away when I was about 16. I remember my mother taking it away from me, after Christmas, saying I was too young for a gun. The box looks like it has all of the components but there was no instruction booklet. My son is now 14 and I thought it would be a great father /son project to put this together.
Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can obtain some assembly instructions? Other than some tarnish on the brass parts and a little on the outside of the barrel, it’s in sweet condition for being +36 years old….
I would appreciate anyone’s input or advice.
