I think your rifle looks just fine. Don't worry about what an old guy who spends all his time on the key board says.

Billnpatti said:Well, Jonathan, all the semantics and :bull: aside, you have a nice looking rifle and I know you are proud of it. I want to give you a bit of very valuable advice and that is to get a copy of Dutch Schoultz Muzzleloading Rifle Accuracy System. It is the absolute best information on the proper methodology for getting maximum accuracy that your rifle is capable of. It costs $20 and you can't find anything having to do with muzzleloading that will be more valuable to you now and in the future with any other muzzleloading rifles you may acquire than the Dutch Schoultz system. Read it, study it, re-read it and then do it exactly as he tells you. He'll have you cutting Xs with your rifle.

Almost positive it was Rifleman and a great idear tooBillnpatti said:I just thought of something else, you mentioned using shaders for your sights and that is a really great idea. One of our members, I forget who at the moment, maybe Rifleman1776 or Roundball, posted an idea on the forum that is worthy of your consideration. He took ordinary plastic drain pipe, such as one would use under a sink, and cut off pieces that looked to be about 3 inches long. He then cut each piece down the side so it could be opened up and clamped onto the barrel (you may have to remove a bit of material to get it to fit on your barrel but you want it to clamp on tightly so it will stay in place). Then he spray painted each piece a nice absolutely flat black inside and out. When finished, he clamped each piece, with its own natural springiness, over both his front and rear sights. A real dandy set of inexpensive shaders. Just something for your consideration. :hatsoff:

The personal asignations say more about you than anything else.
Does a PM count as a "post"? He has an average and reputation to maintain. 23 posts in the past two and a half days!Rat Trapper said:You guys should have seen the nasty PM I just received from the [R]ifleman!
Hey I am know as a hawkens man prolly because I own so many of them. Last count was a 45,50, and 54 TC hawkens (percussion), a 45 flinter, investarms 54 flinter, a gpr 50 and 54 percussion, and one gpr 54 flinter. Not really sure why I have so many they just seem to find me. People find me or call me when they have one or knows someone selling one I usually get them dirt cheap to. Last one I got was a 50 cal TC Hawkens with a renegade barrel that was likely never shot I paid 125 for it at a bargain bin at a gun shop. Seems since the barrel didn't match it renegade barrel on a hawkens it was of no value ha ha.mike3132 said:Ive got two Hawkens and both say T/C on them. Im just as proud of them as I would be a $5000.00 custom. I like guns no matter what they are. Mike
