Traditions St. Louis Hawken kit completed.

Yes, I cut off the ugly finger hook. I bedded the barrel tang, breech end & trigger plate, replaced the plastic sights with Hawken style sights & replaced the fiberglass rammer with a hickory one.

Plastic sights, fiberglass ramrod on a muzzleloader? Blasphemy, pure blasphemy! Glad you chose common sense!

Great job!

That is by far and away the best-looking rifle of its type that I have ever seen. I think you have set the benchmark for assembly of this type of kit.

The engraving on the cap box is a very nice addition.

Good on you, Mr. Marshall! Very strong work!
