    old cabelas conversion?

    Hey all, Not too good with photos yet, but it isn't old as in "Dirt old".. Cabelas still sells them, the Hawken, brass furniture. I guess it's just old to me :) 1st of many I "acquired" I believe that now the leftie is only offered in the perc. version. I have a few T/c righties too, but...

    maybe 1st time builder?

    Well, I guess I have a bit to think on.. The look of the Tennessee Classic I thought was a pretty rifle, but they only have it in .45 and .50 13/16 / 7/8. I guess I could build it and if it comes out well in .50, I would have another excuse to ask the "boss" I mean wife to get another...
