    Cva Hawken .50 rifle

    Has anyone heard of the u breakable ram rod that track of the wolf sells? I was thinking about getting it but not sure if it will fit on my barrel so i can keep it with me at all times. Are these good? I believe its a synthetic rod.

    The ramrod on my hawken is a wooden one with brass tips. The one that broke is the one that u screw the cleaning and loading tips into. It broke right and the end where the brass tip stops. Looks like from factory they used a punch to press the brass into the wood. Thats the way its held on.

    Im using the # 11 caps. Before i tried to fire it, i closed the hammer with the cap on it and pushed against it to make sure it was seated. It will seat fine with a push on the hanmer but it looks like the hanmer may have gotten bent some how by the looks of it. I will take another pic of it...

    Ok thanks for not putting it down lol. Anyone else in other forums usually would say its pointless to try and get it back to shooting condition. I cant give up. Its coming along.

    Cva Hawken .50 rifle

    Oh ok see i was under the impression that it was a flintlock. As you can tell i am new to this haha. Theres a guy at my work that has a t/c impact and hes selling it for 100.00. Is that worth the money? He said he only used it for one deer season
