Hawken build update

Thanks Cap. That means a lot coming from you. I'd love to have a fullstock flinter but I can't see one in my immediate future with the price of having real bp shipped. Sides I don't really have any tradin material left to even be thinking about one right now.
 
Almost done.

Thanks Pahoo. At first glance it looks much like a GPR but when you really take a good look at the details you'll see the differences between a GPR and a true Hawken and then realize just how much work goes into a rifle like this. This is Mongrel's first true Hawken build and I think he's done an excellent job on it. Don't forget he also hand made the trigger guard, butt plate, and the lock plate. The nose piece is Ted Cash.

And that is why I thank you as most of us have had little or no exposure to a "True-Replica" as opposed to a Non-Replica. I have only seen one original Hawken back in the early 80's. Thanks again. :)

I'm no expert on Hawken details, but it doesn't matter. It's clearly not a GPR (I own 2) and it's a very, very fine piece of work. Congratulations on a true treasure.
 
Yep, already have a .54 so I'm good to go. Even got a new shootin bag that will be for it only, just gotta get a strap for it and it's good to go.

Are you used to that buckhorn rear sight? I don't know too many people who keep them after a few rounds, but the people who like them REALLY like them.

That's probably because they know how to set the horns and use them. I sure like the few I have and they just add to the overall appearance of any old timer. I prefer them to the standard open sight. Learned from an old-timey guy that had them on his older Winchesters. They just look pretty awesome. ... :)

I believe the Hawken is one of the arms that all true American firearms enthusiasts should own an example of. Building it yourself is very profound. Very tastefully executed Sir. That would be a keeper if I owned it.
