    T/C Hawkens

    The T/C has most likely been that starter rifle for most BP rifle. You see aton of them at Rondy. They are quality rifles, that shoot well enough. I have seen a lot of blanket prizes won with the T/C. I am not familiar with the other rifle.

    Meek, That looks like the gun I have, except mine has GRRW on the barrel, and the wood is really nice striped maple. As stated the wood to metal fit is as good, or better then some customs I have seen. A friend in El Paso says it could have been custom made by GRRW. Any links to this company...

    How sharpen tamahawk

    jb, I use a 220 grit belt for the initial grind. A spray bottle of water can be used to keep it cool. Finish with a 400 grit belt for a razor edge. :wink:

    Well Boys, I picked her up today. Very, very nice wood. Need to clean thu' dust offin' it afore I kin' tell yu' :rotf:

    When to clean?

    I also use a spit patch in my Hawkens at Rendezvous. and never clean between shots. I do a real good hot water cleaning at night after the matches though.That keeps me ready for the next days shooting.
