Sounds just like me, welcome home brother, at 79 I don’t care what I say or do , don’t wear a tie, don’t have to be polite or choose my words wisely , it’s great being an old fart , keep warm it’s freezing in UK . My son says I have a mental problem , one of these modern things , I really don’t give a s…… neither does my cat. Enjoyas my wife reminds me all the time. Have only 2 faults, first is everything I say and the second is everything I do.
haven't worn a suit in over 30 years, ties are things that are on a hanger 'somewhere' in the closet that are left over from 'something'. Awhile back, found all these handkerchiefs in the back of the drawers, some were gifts from when I graduated from high school in 1973. All of them still in the gift boxes. Figured that if I hadn't opened those boxes and had been dragging them around all those years; that the odds that I'd wear them were quite slim. Popped them opened and used them for cleaning rags. Weren't worth a flip for that. So, what the heck was I doing keeping them for? Guess if you were into such a thing that they'd be nice. Just not me.
Around here the dress up for funerals and weddings is clean blue jeans with belt, a white shirt, clean western boots and a bolo tie and stetson. I haven't seen anybody in a suit other than a police detective once in years.
It's definitely CVA the model was called the Missouri it had a plain lock without a curved bottom. Larger in size also. Tended to have plenty of wood on the stock also. I've got one in my collection that's like new. Oh and they had a 1" barrel on them.
Indeed. I have one just like it. Well, it actually belongs to my wife. It was a kit ML.
Nice find, OP.
Thanks for the info!
Yes, it does. According to my 1990 CVA catalog, the 1-48" barrel was an accessory only. Yours has a 1-66" Round Ball Barrell!
Good Luck & have fun!

I know of 2 members here with original Hawken rifles. Probably a few more I'd wager.
I prefer the term Hawkenesque for those guns that are loosely designed around the Hawken rifles of old.
Pedantic much? Since the Hawken is no longer made for at least 100 years and the Hawkens clan is out of that business, I would think it has become a common understanding that "in the Hawken style" is what is meant.
That’s awesome - thanks for sharing! I guess mine is the CVA Hawken Rifle - Premier Grade.
Pretty much my thoughts.

Measuring the twist rate of a rifle is easy.
