    screw tips?

    Where Hawks Really Pretty

    when most whitemen used a hatchet or tomahawk in battle it was because it was a useful tool for the moment and they did battle out of neccesity so there was no real magic or power in the ,weapon.When a indian had a weapon and used it it had to have power and spirit and so he made them beautiful...

    What Is This? And Why?

    I saw it a couple of times also and thought about it being some kind a real expensive type rifleing and had to conclude it's just a fancy way to finish the muzzle,I don't know what it's called and I don't know who does it.

    Convert Percussion gun to Flint??

    if it has a drum then it is fairly easy you just need a lock and a touchhole liner.if it has a snail type breech like most Hawken rifles then a new breech plug and a whole slew of work is neccesary and so ,MAYBE not really worth it,but that part is up to you,it could still be done.After it is...

    What's the attraction (to percussion)?

    I like to still hunt,the wetter it is the better it is -short of a pouring rain-so my self says ,self,use yer capper in wet weather! but its all up in te air when I get a .54 flint Hawkin -like rifle.I do hunt squirrels with a flint right now but I can take a chance on muffing up on a squirrel!

    The Hawken Rifle

    In defence of wattlebuster,not everyone is as knowledgeable as you or I or Wattlebuster may be and what seems to be a simplistic answer may be just what many people need or want to know,many guys just starting out don't even know who the Hawkins were or that there were two of them. nice...
