Well the saga is just starting...
to recap, I acquireda TC hawken 50 kit that was missing all the screws, rib, rear sight and hammer, got all original parts from TC, built it, finished the stock, all came out most excellent for a first build. didnt really need it as I have 2 other 50s and will let go of the cva mt rifle, douglas barreled, when they pry it from my dead hands.
ordered a GM .40 x 32 drop in, it went in with NO mods.
took it out tonight with about 45 minutes of light left...
tried 35 gr 3F black and .012 patches, .395 ball...
1 1/4 group, stepped up to 40gr, 1 inch group, tried 40 gr and .018 wallyworld blue ticking at 1 1/4, all at 40 yds prone off a chunk o fire wood rest.
I think with better light, it/I will do better. I stretched out to 60yd and was 1 inch high.
more trigger time will tell!
dont think I will ever shoot the 50 barrel!
...just wanted the world to know!
