    Sante Fe Hawken Kit

    Trot, is yours marked Allen F.A. or Western F.A.? I believe they were marketed under the two different trade marks but basically the same rifles. I've heard of a lot more finished rifles than kits also.

    In Missouri we were taught to read the words in the book, and not just look at the pretty pictures. :wink:

    Sante Fe Hawken Kit

    Nov. 4 my wife and I celebrated our 35 wedding anniversary, she seems to be the only thing I've hung on to all these years. Many great guns come and gone. I'm sure many here can relate.

    Sante Fe Hawken Kit

    Back in 1982 I bought a Sante Fe Hawken kit in .54 cal. ser. # 0002 from a dealer in Houston Tx. It was made by Allen F.A. Mfg. Co. in Sante Fe N.M. It had a nice walnut half stock, double set triggers, two wedge keys, and all of the furniture was steel. Silver front sight, buckhorn rear. I did...

    Shinning up rear sights

    You could also install a taller front sight, then file down to your desired point of impact.

    NRA Museum at Bass Pro Shop

    I haven't been there for about a year. Last time we were there they didn't have the Hawken's. Since we are only 30 min. away from there I must go look. Thanks for the heads up.

    What size nipple threads on Spanish rifle

    The original nipple on mine measures .226 it can be installed with fingers and then snugged with a nipple wrench. The new TOW nipple measures .231 and has to be installed with a wrench and considerable pressure. It will install, but it feels like you are re-tapping the drum to a certain degree...

    coolest tricks?

    Back in the mid 70's I built a T/C Hawken from a kit. The first year I had it I took it deer hunting. I had two hunting partners with me that were using modern fire arms. We rode together to our hunting spot all the while giving me grief for using an antique style of hunting rifle. Once there we...

    CVA Mountain Rifle refinish

    I am also refinishing one I found at a local pawn/gun shop that I haunt looking for rescue mutts. Mine was defiantly a kit gun that was assembled quickly. The browning was thin and spotty, the double set triggers didn't work, it was missing the ram rod spring, and someone had varnished the stock...

    Birchwood Casey Plum Brown

    I don't think I was clear enough on the heat gun I use. It is like an industrial hair drier. It will heat items up by heating coils in the muzzle end of the gun.

    Birchwood Casey Plum Brown

    I use a heat gun I bought from Harbor Freight. Don't know if I'm getting to 275 but I get a nice even brown, and don't worry about over heating small parts.

    Trigger problem

    Ok Necchi, I kept looking at the picture of the lock you posted and playing with the different screws, and I got the triggers to set and release the way they should. Thanks again for everyones help. I was ready to call them broken and replace them.
