    What have I got?

    Hi guys. I came home with my Hawken's build kinda built and left all the rest of it at the cabin. Grrrr. So until I get back up there I'll be sanding and finishing the wood. Anyhoo, I have BP on the brain and remembered a gun my FIL kinda willed to me. He said he put it together as a kit...
