    WANTED Sante Fe or Ithaca Hawken

    I was in the business in those days and I remember when both the Ithaca and then the Western Arms/ Allen were introduced. I think the contributor of that quote might be mixing some of the facts. I seem to remember there was also another rifle that was suppose to go into production that never...

    WANTED Sante Fe or Ithaca Hawken

    That’s kinda what I’m thinking must have happened too! BP addict, do not turn down a 1" AF .50 calibre barreled rifle. Most of those GRRW 1/2 stock Leman trad rifles had 1" bbls in .50. I still have one here in the gunsafe. Got it in 1980. Back i. Those days ( 1970’s-80’s) there were lots of...

    WANTED Sante Fe or Ithaca Hawken

    Awesome to know. I had never seen one in .54 calibre. All the early ones I ever saw were .50’s. Like I said including the one I owned. The one I had I obtained in ‘79. Before Navy Arms got them. Thanks for clearing it up. My apologies to Andy52!

    WANTED Sante Fe or Ithaca Hawken

    My Ithaca circa 1979 was a .50. As were the others I came in contact with Are you sure you might not have the Ithaca confused with the Allen Arms, (Western Arms) Santa Fe? They were .53. Back in the 80’s I sold a boat load of them. Hornady started swaging .520 round balls due to their...

    WANTED Sante Fe or Ithaca Hawken

    Were the Ithaca rifles offered in .54 calibre? All the ones I owned, sold, or ever ran across were only .50 calibre.

    Hawken Classic

    My mentor, from back in ancient times, was an old time gun collector. Began collecting in the 30’s. He had two original Hawken pieces. One was a fullstock J&S Hawken rifle. Approx. .54 calibre best I remember. And it had that same triggerguard with that unique spur. And as best as I remember it...

    Hog hunting

    Way before all this hog hunting got so popular, and they started making TV shows about it all, I knew some German boys upcountry that hunted em with dogs and butcher knives. This was over 40 years ago. I’ve hunted places and ranches up in the hill country where there have been wild hogs for over...

With everything from rifled to smoothbores. .36 to .62 cal. Round ball or buckshot. Back in the day, My late wife and I have shot several...
