    GPR 2nd time

    Hello from Germany! I'm a bit irritated about the lock plate. The GPR lock plate hasn't these engravings and is more plain. To me the complete rifle looks more like a normal Investarm Hawken. Regards Kirrmeister

    50 cal REAL bullet

    I use them in my .50 Woodsman Hawken with stainless barrel, 1 in 32" ROT. With 75 grs the rifle groups really fine. I fyou use them in a rifle with longer twist like a 1 in 48" or 1 in 66" then take a higer charge. Regards Kirrmeister

    Jukar front sight

    Hi bobbo, if you have problems with the sight then I'll recommend a fieber optic rear and front sight from AimRight. Cal the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi/Ohio. They have them. I put these sights on all my Ardesa/Traditions rifles(Deerhunter and Hawken Woodsman). Regards Kirrmeister

    Hi, there are not so many european style ML in the replika line, only the pedersoli jaeger, but that is no real jaeger, but a fantasie product. Thanks for your offer for sending a GPR, but I was able to get a nearly new unshooted T/C .54 Hawken perc. here in the forum from the classified ads...
