    Stock Repair 101

    Zonie, Thanks for the compliment and I understand your thoughts here I think. I chose acraglass for this repair for several reasons, one of them is it's ability to fill a void while maintaining it's strength (I definitely had some voids to contend with). Another reason is it's ultra low...

    Stock Repair 101

    Thanks for the good words, guys! Paul - I actually have a blank and a barrel and have been looking for other parts to make a bench copy of this rifle. Most of my shooting and squirrel hunting with antique guns is on my property that I live on so unless I slip and fall (been there, done that)...

    My first rifle build, Flint Hawken

    Below are some photos of my first attempt at building a rifle, my interpretation of a halfstock flilnter Hawken. The barrel is a .54 Green Mountain, cut to 33". All the metal furniture as well as the barrel are browned, the screw heads and barrel keys are fire blued, the triggers cold blued...

    Original Sam Hawken flintlock

    Was the rifle a fullstock or a halfstock? I would be curios to know! I am building a building a Hawken half stock flinter and would love to see a pic of an original. Curtis
