Gentlemen,
I want to build one of Don Stith's Hawkens, but I am afraid I lack the necessary experience to do so successfully. I'm fairly handy, but I'm not so sure that "fairly handy" would suffice. :wink:
On the other hand, I don't wish to put limited resources towards building something less than what I really want.
I think I may have hit on a compromise, and wish to solicit opinion. It appears to me that the construction on the Great Plains pistol is similar to the Hawken kits, judging on outward appearances. While I realize that the level of work and skill required for the GPP is far less than one of Stith's or TOTW's kits, I have the hope that the Lyman kit might provide enough experience to at least have a good chance to build one of the Hawkens well.
Can anyone comment on my idea?
Thanks,
Dan
