    definitely buddy, because that is just awesome. I didn't even realize this could be done. And I am glad to hear your success of shooting left handed, cool beans! Maybe come down next fall and let me take you on a dove hunt. got plenty of fields, decoys, and got pretty good at coordinating good...

    58 vs 54?

    Yep, it is definitely very addictive, lol, but sure beats alcohol and drugs! I am contacting Mr. Hoyt tomorrow {and go ahead and hire him} about boring my .45 cal T/C hawkens into a .54 because of the flatter trajectory, less lead needed, and really best suited for white tail deer. Even be able...

    Hey ol pal, been awhile since we have corresponded. I have a Hawken like you described. So, Mr. Holt can convert my rifle from a .45 cal to a .54 or .58?

    58 vs 54?

    Sir, could you contact me? I have decided to purchase a .54 TOW kit like yours to be my number one deer hunting gun, and first flintlock. I was a master carpenter with limited metal working skills. I built a simple Traditions pistol kit and enjoyed it. I have aquired a tap n die set, chisels...

    SOLD .54 Caliber Flintlock

    I like it except for the patch box. But I believe I could change it out. But excellent price and I am looking a deer rifle of at least this caliber. I'm just shy about not being able to hold it before purchase. Great deal though for soneone.

    Small button buck with SMR

    Traditions kentucky rifle

    My dad's is a tack driver. I love shooting it as well. She loves a 60 gns charge, .015 patch and a .498 ball. Matter of fact, I came in second place in our Fall rendezvous with it and only lost by a single point to a friend who shoots a custom 42 inch barrel flintlock. Just last week, dad's...
