Let me see the lock panels. Some of the early models, it was the first 2 digits. Later, the last 2.
This has turned out to be a really nice nice barrel 50 caliber with to my surprise a 1-56 twist. It took 8-10 shots to get it settled in then it went to cutting bullet holes at 25 yards, so I decided to take it to the local club shoot yesterday and ended up with first place with a 10 out of 10 score and a bonus just for fun hit on the 12 inch gong at 110 yards so pretty happy with my $80 ebay barrel.
Just poking a little fun at ya but be carefull with that statement around certain camp fires.
I've owned quite a few cva hawkens, only have one now. But there's a reason i have 6 MT. Rifles 
Yep, not knocking them, most do like the Mountain rifle, and they are more authentic looking but they just don't suit me. Just a personal opinion. My brother and I had several CVA's in the late 70's early 80's, Mountain rifles, big bore mountain rifle, Frontier rifle, I still have one flintlock Mountain rifle and a Frontier that I haven't shot in years and one CVA hawken but don't really shoot that one anymore either. In fairness, all my Mountain/Frontier rifles were flintlocks, and those locks were frustrating to say the least. I'm more into smoothbore flintlocks now, there's room for every taste in this sport!Just poking a little fun at ya but be carefull with that statement around certain camp fires.
