Just acquired my dads ol Hawkens today. I always thought it was a Traditions but to my surprise. Its a CVA.
Judging by the markings and numbers. Is there and info about this rifle yall can give me?
Like whats the twist rate? Is it just a regular ol Hawkens?
Is it worth the time to even shoot?
A big plus is I was able to take the nipple off this one by hand and the bore looks great rifling wise. Could use a good swab job. There is some corrosion on the outside of the barrel that will need a good scrubbin and re-blu. I need to get the light steel wool and rub her down and clean her up.
