Welcome from Georgia!

looking good! I know you will enjoy it!

In my opinion, a used one in good condition will serve you very well. I have a used Investarms Hawken, and a TC Hawken I built from a kit. Both are nice looking, and shoot better than I can. You can learn a great deal at less cost to you. Easily sellable if you don’t like them-watch how fast...

Great job! A beautiful rifle! And love that vent pick !

I am selling my model airplane engines on eBay to finance my BP addiction

Globe front sight is on my list! I am really trying to get rifle sighted in to the best I can do. I can pop of tang sight pretty fast.

Let us know how it goes. I’ve wanted to get a kit for a long time

You did a fine job on that! Well done!

Did not like the original Hawken sights, so I switched.

Welcome from Georgia! Scots-Irish myself

Thanks everyone, for the suggestions!

Looks a little low rent, but so do I. As to whether or not it works, as they say in the South, “I’m fixin’ to find out”!

Or big pliers! I’ll try it out and see how it works! hoping recoil will not be a problem. it may just be another failed experiment, but fun doing-and it might just work!

Ha, I can hear the things jumping off the bench and pinging into the magnets! At least no more lost Allen wrenches!

I took a piece of the cardboard, modified it a bit, and stuck it on with magnets. Easily removeable. I’ll make one from the copper, experiment with it. Magnets won’t look any worse than the peep sight does.

I do have a lot of super magnets I use on my model planes

I am ok as a solderer, but no Ace. Anything special needed to solder on to front sight dovetail? It will take a lot of heat to get that dovetail area hot enough, I think

Masking tape photo just for effect, loop in practice must be much shorter

I bit the bullet and put a Lyman peep sight on my T/C Hawken. I don’t like the way it looks, but I can see the difference in group size. I put a German silver front sight on it, which looks great. However, if the sun is at the right angle, the sight looks like a super nova. I tried soot, and...

Wonderful job, nice work on the carving, your practice shows! Very good looking rifle.
