SSE-I been staren at thet there pichure, but it's all kinda fuzzy. Don't know ifin it's a fuzzy pichure, or my fuzzy eyes, or this dang newfangled computer, so I guess you'll have to send me the gun so I can figgure it out for sure.

nvbird - Well, I'll send the picture but not the Hawken! I can't get the pic to come all the time, get a lot of red x's. Even the link doesn't work for me very well.

The rifle was built by "rollingb" and has a fancy maple stock. She's a shooter, too.

Regards, sse

When I clicked on the picture I got a big "FORBIDDEN"sign and a message saying, you don't have permisson to see this picture.
back to cleaning. I always remove the lock and the nipple if present, always use a brass rod and a muzzle guide. When I used to use hot water I found the same as some of you that rust was forming before you could get a patch down the bore to dry it. Wheather this was damaging I'm not sure
but might be over a period of time.

Deadeye - If you keep clicking on the link it might work correctly. Also, if you right click on the pic above, that isn't seen, then click on "show picture", the pic might appear. I don't know why it works sometimes and not others.

Great looking firearm, I'll give you a nickle for it, of course you'll pay shipping and handling... :haha:

Just kidding about wanting it, nevertheless, it looks fantastic...
