Thx for you input I realize that this is a slightly scatter brained idea, but I'm going to mainly be hunting small game but there is a part of me that wants to hunt deer with it as well ( talking .62) and my plan isn't to do a perfectly PC hawken but more of a good all season gun that looks like...

This is fixing to be an expensive project so I need all of the "2 cents" I can get :grin:

I'm looking at building a Hawken gun from the ground up. This is my first attempt at anything like this so I'm pretty nervous. Here is what I'm thinking and what I'm hung up on: I'm getting a precarved half stock in a low grade curly maple, the classic double set triggers, a 34 inch octagonal...

Thanks for all the info and your opinions guys. It is appreciated. And I have turned down his offer and went back to my original plan of building a .62 cal hawken smooth rifle

I do not have a good pic of the bore. the one I have it has a bunch of lint in it from "siting in a wool case" here is one of the lock: https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t31.0-8/1504490_695704923821094_7070296883225444124_o.jpg...

It was my understanding that during regular rifle season there were no caliber restrictions meaning I could use it for the November season. Unless the .44 and up isn't just for the muzzleloader season but as a general rule. I very well could be wrong.

Roger that. I will post pics wen I get them, So y'all can tell me more. My reason for wanting this is because I have a pedersoli 12 gauge double and I love the versatility of it (living in northern michigan) however, I feel waaaaay more comfortable with a rifle in my hands. Idk I guess I'm a...

Well I haven't seen it yet... He is sending pictures tomarrow but assuming it is in good working order and not a wall hanger, is $800 reasonable? And I've heard very little about .40 cal front stuffers and wonder if it is a good caliber or is it too much for squirrels and not enough for deer :hmm:

Hey there I was lookin into getting an origional rifle and have found a Kentucky long rifle in .40 caliber. The guy is asking $800 for it so I was wondering if this is a good deal and if this would be good for both small game and close range deer hunting. Any thoughts?

I shoot an old TC renegade in .50 caliber. I feed it a .49 caliber prb on top of 80 grains of ffg the accuracy is astounding.
