Good Day Everyone;
I was visiting with Don Stith about a possible purchase of one of his parts sets. We discussed the Kit Carson model and the S Hawken, both with 33" Tapered Barrels in a .58 Cal.
He indicated that the drop was 2 1/4", this suprised me. Does anyone have a S. Hawken or a Kit Carson from him that could clairfy this?
I have a old CVA Mountain rifle and it's Drop to Heel, Measured from the top of the barrel is about 2 3/8". My LGP is about 3 1/2", I like the way the LGP lines up and feels.
Mr. Stith had mentioned that original Hawkens had less drop than most reproductions.
TOW indicates that the drop on the Kit Carson Hawken half stock is 4" from line of sight.
Do any of you have experience with deHaas Barrels? He indicated that a Rice Barrel was a 6 month wait, Getz was no longer an option.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Don
