Thanks again...here's the spec's:
The .58cal Hawken replica was built by Rodney T. Shields after he took strict measurements off of one of the rifles housed in the Museum of the Mountain Man, in Wyoming. It has been stocked with a super piece of curly maple and has Bob Roller handmade triggers, a Ron Long Lock, and a 32 inch Getz tapered octagon barrel. All hardware is browned iron. The length of pull is fourteen and a quarter inches and the rifle weighs 9.6 lbs. It's a shooter!:thumbup:
The spike Hawk is from Butches Forge and the little patch knife is a G.L. Drew offering I picked up second hand in the BF classifieds.:thumbup::thumbup:
I shot the Coyote about 4 years ago with a little contender carbine in .17Rem. I picked up the case in an estate sale. The deck came with the house when we bought it and was re-finished the past spring.
I REALLY appreciate the compliments guys! I sure didn't mean to have the thread diverted, so let's get it back on track...
For Busse content let's see...(here's the closest thing I have to an INFI hawk at the moment)
