Looks to be a great, unmolested piece. Inside of locks will be ‘best’ quality - Looks to have 4-screw bridles.

A Display rack of original Hawken Rifles from the HawkenClassic. There were others displayed as well. Only the bottom (32cal) was a single key.

Try snapping a cap before reloading/after wiping.

Agree with Rice barrels… Jason was set up at the HawkenClassic..

Because they use way too much oil… After a good cleaning, a thin film/coat is all one needs, if it runs - it’s not a tin coat.

Alexander Henry - Sporting/Target rifle. Stunning, inside and out. It barely meets the mfg date rule of this fourm…

I’m fortunate to own a few original doubles and I’ve seen a few CVA at the NMLRA Safari Double Rifle match, over the years, shoot quite well. But, the originals seem to take higher scores. Best to plan to experiment on paper…sometimes the hits tell you what needed to improve. Remember, there’s...

I wonder if the builder of the OP rifle with Bill Large barrel used an original lock from 1848 to build a Hawken? The iron mounting and trigger guard certainly look the Hawken part - as does the 1848 date. Love the rifle.

Rod is a good friend and an excellent builder… I’m envy.. Been trying to convince Rod to make the trek to the HawkenClassic - hope to see you there. Congratulations!

I agree with the OP.. Good time to join the NMLRA, the oldest ML Organization in our country (1933) - established by shooters. They also host the oldest Rendezvous.. Many if not all subsequent groups have spun off as more ‘specific’ facets of Muzzleloading- the NMLRA seems to have it all...

It always seems to be enjoyable by all in attendance. Best of luck again this year!

Has nothing to do with Pedersoli at this point. GunBroker seller is your issue.

Weighing confirms how accurate you are Volumetric dispensing.

Looks great.. Maybe we’ll see it in your hands and shooting at the HawkenClassic. Enjoy.

Purchased at Friendship. I’ve made a few previous references with this string.

Not sure about the 1865 date - that seems to eliminates a lot of post CW Muzzleloaders from the Ohio Valley to the Mountains of the Appalachians.., Not to mention some fantastic British work. After all - they are Muzzleloaders.

These are made in Ohio.. Not sure where other reproductions are made.

A very good reproduction I picked up at Friendship. I believe Lewis Drake sells reproductions as well. Originally, accoutrements makers supplied them to the British trade - by Hawksley, Dixon, etc..

The Best ones are spring loaded, either originals or quality reproductions. A little hard to find and a little costly- but your wife deserves the Best!
