SOLD 50 Cal Hawken with Green Mountain BBL

[Old Hawkeye]

This rifle started life as an Investarm Hawken. I changed the barrel to a 32" Green Mountain with a 1 in 66" twist and installed a Skinner rear peep sight about 2 years ago. Shot it maybe ten times to get in on paper, but never worked up a preferred load. My interest has changed to 58 Cal Civil War type rifles, so it has sat in my safe. It deserves a good home where it can be shot & fondled. The rifle is in near perfect condition in all aspects. The Green Mountain barrel is as good as it gets, IMHO & the bore is literally new. Serious buyers can PM me for more pics or questions. Would consider in trade for a J. P. Murray, Cook & Brothers, or 1861 Enfield carbine. Price is $600 shipped to your door in a hard case.

That looks like Englich walnut.

That's a good price, I bought just the green mountain barrel a year ago for $600.

Considering the hard case & shipping will approach $100, I agree. Thought I'd give this forum a chance before I put it on another gun sale site.

Do you still have the original barrel?

Do you still have the original barrel?

No, I sold it just last Saturday after having been in my gun shop for two years. Another guy on this forum had a Want to Buy add here & we were only 80 miles apart & did a face to face meeting halfway.

Thank you for your quick response. I'm looking for a 50 cal, that will shoot conical bullets well.

Have you considered having a liner installed in your existing barrel? Cheaper than buying a whole barrel & you can pick your rifling.

Beautiful wood on that rifle!

How is the trigger pull?

I haven't thought about it. I actually didn't know that it was an option. Thanks for the information.

How is the trigger pull?

It has double "set" triggers. The pull is a little heavy in the unset mode, but when "set" is a very nice hunting trigger. It is adjustable, so it can be tweeked to your liking.

I’ll take it off your hands then.

I’ll PM you with my info now.
