Are these brain tanned or chrome tanned?

PM sent…I’ll take it. -Steve

I know there’s a lot of excitement out there for this kit, but seriously folks…it’s HAWKEN, not Hawkins, not Hawkin, not Hawkens. Whatever Kibler comes up with, whether it’s an early J&S or a later Sam Hawken, I’m sure it will be a wonderful representation of an iconic rifle. -Steve

I’m with Ian on this one. You don’t have to make that trigger plate mechanism work. First, draw out the angle needed for the sear to engage the trigger bar. Then buy or make a trigger with plenty of material to engage the sear where it needs to. File off the yokes from the trigger plate and pin...

A 20 gauge Chambers smooth rifle was my first build. It was challenging, but I had an experienced builder (my dad) there to help guide me. The Chambers family, especially Barbie, were great to work with and even provided some pictures to help me develop the carving. I cannot say enough good...

Please let us know if you locate their contact info…

There is a tanner in Montana that supplies buff tanned deer. The leather shop in Williamsburg told me about it while I watched them sew up a pair of breeches. They wouldn’t tell me who it was or contact info though…

Try Joe Najecki at Najecki.com. He’s cut some strap and pouch dividers for me in the past.

My 82 year old dad and I drove from Colorado to St. Louis for the Hawken Classic last year. For a first year event it was very well done and we are going to make the trip again in 2024! Like others have stated…I’m also a student and admirer of Hawken firearms.

Rob, I sent a pm with my email. Thanks so much to you and Berta! -Steve

Thanks, I think I located a Navy Arms shotgun.

I would like to find a Navy Arms 12 gauge SxS shotgun kit that someone is willing to part with. I’d consider a completed Navy Arms Sxs that is completed as well. $400+, please send a PM

SOLD PENDING FUNDS This pouch is 4-5 ounce Hermann Oak veg tan leather, “stained” with period correct vinagroon. The bag is 7”x7” and lined with pillow ticking. The adjustable strap is 51” long and attaches to the back of the pouch with a pewter button. The bag is entirely stamped with stars...

***SPF*** I had a customer back out on a beautiful double pouch I made to his specs. The pouch is 7.75” tall and 7.5” wide. This is not your ordinary shot pouch and is loaded with handsome details. The entire pouch is hand sewn with 3-ply Irish linen thread, and is made of veg tan leather. The...

Here is a model 1800 I just completed from The Rifle Shoppe parts. The M1800 has the octagons rounded (below the stock line), a tapered/flared barrel and round bottom rifling. There are other subtle differences including the rear sight and front ramrod pipe, but overall it’s very similar to the...

While I'll agree that the laws, especially bear, are complex in Colorado, Mustang 65 your statement is not really the truth. Muzzleloader and archery bear tags are only available as draw licenses (same as deer and elk), and have been that way for many years. So you can actually hunt only bear...

You will most likely take your own journey, but most of us started off buying cheap chrome tan leather before learning that veg-tan is more historically correct and easier to work with. I use Springfield Leather Co. They have high quality veg-tan and sell by the square foot. My bags are...

I remember you saying that you were headed out and it looks like it worked out well. Congratulations on a successful hunt…nice looking rifle too

Good luck…
