    2 pawn shop T/C's in 50 cal

    Please do not get me back on ebay. I have had an addiction to it for a few years and just recently dropped that habbit, I am now hooked on Cabelas but ebay is no longer a problem. After Christmas I am going to take one apart and darken the wood and convert to .54 Cal. I am also going to brown...

    2 pawn shop T/C's in 50 cal

    I finally had time to take a few pictures of my two rifles. The one on top is the one that had no set trigger and the nipple is still pretty beat. They are actually in good shape. The wood is very nice on both and the one on top has some nice marbling in the wood grain. The one on bottom is...

    2 pawn shop T/C's in 50 cal

    Some of you may remember that last month I put 2 Thompson Hawken's on law-a-way at my local pawn shop. One was in ok shape but the other had a nipple that was beat flat and the set trigger did not work. Well today I picked them both up and brought them home. I handed one to my son and told him...

    can you just put it in the oven at 280 and leave it for an hour and do the process? Does it soften the barrel heating it up?

    Stock polish

    What is something that I can put on my stock to make it really look good. It is a Pedersoli Hawken with American Walnut wood. Its really dark wood and I want something to keep it nice looking. Would furniture polish look ok? While I am asking questions what is something I can put on my brass...

    Uberti vs. Pietta

    I remember as a kid my Dad would make fun of anybody who had a Uberti because to him only Colt was a real gun maker. Now years later many people claim Uberti is a well made pistol. I am no expert but I am under the understand that Uberti is closer to actual Colt dimensions to where Pieta just...

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    Thanks for all the reply's, they were all fun to read. I wish we would have had a vote but opinions are ok also. After counting all the votes the winner is........ buy the GPR in the classified section. Great idea but I am getting what I want and I want a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken. I...

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    The crack is about an inch from the bottom corner of the butt where it rest on your shoulder. Even if it goes all the way across it would but take out the bottom inch. I know it can be repaired easy. From day one I have said I want a Maple rifle in .54cal and I am very happy one has fallen...

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    I checked the bores and they are perfect. Thanks for the information. The Pedersoli is a very good deal. I wouldn't give $800 but $675 is something I am more than willing to give.

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    I looked and I agree its nice but for now I am going Pedersoli. I will show the picture of the add to some friends and let them know about it. Two weeks ago I was talking about my crossbow and the next week they started to let me know how they have one on law-a-way at the local paw shops. If one...

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    I would have to flip until I win with the Pedersoli. I already had them put it in the hold room for two week when I will pay them. I like the Pedersoli a lot better do to the fit, finish, longer barrel, browned barrel. Its a good looking piece even if its not really striped. My step dad use to...

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    The ones at the pawn shop are still good. No big thing there. These at Cabela's will probably be for my kid. They are a good deal so I am going to jump on them now. The T/C's in pawn will be to learn how to work on them and the Pedersoli or GRP will be for serious collecting and shooting...

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    Ok, I cant lie. I asked the guy behind the counter to ask the manager if they can do a better price on the Pedersoli since it had a crack. He came back with a price of $675.

    Rocky Mountain Hawken or a GPR?

    Ok the choice is of these two rifles. Both are setting in the Bargain Cave at Cabela's. I need some votes to help me decide which I am going to get. First is a.... Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken Rifle in .54 cal. Regular price is $1300 and are on sale right now for $1000. The one I am...
