I just thought that I would tell how I got my first ml. I came across a beat up old rifle at a flea market of all places, I talked to the man about it and he said it was found in his attic, not knowing much about it. After a short chat, I paid him a 100 dollars for it. I assumed it to be a reproduction, but wanted it shootable, so I took it to a gunsmith friend who specializes in antique firearms to work on it. Well, I got a very excited call from him and hot footed to his shop. There he explained to me as to what I had, a genuine Hawken rifle from the late 1830's. He did make it shoot able without injury it's value. I regret ever selling that rifle.
