RIP Dutch. After reading about his passing, I went and purchased his book. His daughter is selling them on eBay. She has included a note about his passing and his wishes to keep the book available to others.

Well, after several months, I have my rifle back from Traditions. They replaced the rear stock piece. The finish is a close match to the front stock. Opened the box, looked it over, and put it back in the box. Think I'll just keep using the Hawken.

Greetings, from West Georgia.

I don't think you could go wrong with either of these.

I read about the whole .54 cal was really a .53 cal, I wish it was one of those. It would be even more rare.

What's the twist rate of the barrels? Some of the 50's, have twist rate that's not good for a ball, better suited for sabots. For ball ammo, look for a 1/45 or higher ( bigger the second number the better for a ball). Less than 1/45, better for sabot. I shot a 50 cal.. Here in Georgia, we...

No rust, very clean. It will be a few days before I can shot it. It's been raining here almost all week. Suppose to be sunny on Sunday.

Wow. very beautiful rifle.

I found a Hawken at a semi local gun shop. It's an old Ithaca / Navy Arms Hawken in 50 cal. Everything is in great shape. I you find the set trigger takes a bit of pulling to set it. I've opened her up and everything looks good in the trigger assy and lock.
