welcome back flyboy ! been missing ya. Its a keeper :cursing: would of been so easy to sell back to TOTW, then I got this wild hair (and we all know how painfull that can be) :youcrazy: Ya I could of made another Santa Fe, Ithaca, Carson or bridger out of it...but no , after I got started I got to rounding pics and plans up, as of now in a 10 yr span I have 8 rifles to copy from and none are the same! :cursing: Someone on a post ask "what makes a Hawken" its harder than I thought at the time. Everyone on Hawk 2 and the first one put in so much info I thought this would be easy at least to plan. Im sure of one thing if you all like how it turns out or not,no one can say they didnt make one like that,ya meanthey havent found it yet. Even the same locks can have the tab in front of nipple trimmed to how high and long,cant even find 2 the same, but with you back thats one more person I can pester with Qs. Don got those back MLs that April 81 should of been " Star Wars Hawken Found" now that is one FINE rifle. That single set trigger is some kind of work! :yakyak: Anyone with plans to send please do, Im really flying blind when Im noy driveing Cooner nuts with " hows this go,work look," pick one or all. Havent a idea yet what Im makeing , just takeing off wood, like Bill and Cooner and think even flyboy aqnd others have said (not in this way) you can tell it's a Hawken at first sight ut you dont know what gave it away, all so different to be the same! Good night guys Ive had A day FRED :hatsoff: :snore:
