My oldest Son showed up today with a n older Cabela`s Hawken Flintlock. Or, should I say parts for one. He traded a Harbor Freight , $89.00 on sale, Generator for it. The Guy said it was loaded and the Barrel showed signs of a rust bucket. Turned out it wasn`t loaded and after scrubbing the Dickens out of it with Ed`s Red, it was nice and smooth. No Tang screw and rear sights, We Black taped the Tang in place loaded it up with 50grs. of 2F and a .54 patched ball and by dang if it didn`t go off perfectly 5 times in a row !! I think He done good!!! Just by using the front sight smoothbore style it grouped well at 20 yds.
