Did real Hawken's have a patchbox?

I thought my old eyes were playing tricks on me but if you saw it to then I guess I was seeing right. Something is not right. Maybe it had a shorter nipple at one time.

That could be it. Now that you mention it, the nipple on there looks pretty shiney... probably a fairly recent replacement.

The ramrod had to be replaced (as read in the original artical), not sure about the nipple...

Now that one did belong on the Hawken 3 page. What a rifle. :bow: fred :hatsoff:
