White Mountian Black Hawken

[HellBound]

I just can't leave my T/C's alone.
A White Mountian barrel on a blacked out Hawken, 50 cal
A GrayHawk [stainless] on a New Englander stock

Also two shorties, WM & NE

P.A.

I may get egged by the foolish firearm forum folk for saying it - but those shorties are just too cool.

How do they shoot? I have never seen a pocket muzzle loader before... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

they are way cool :thumbsup:

I haven't shot the short New Englander, but I have fired the White Mountian quite a bit. It shoots and hits about the same as the full length rifle. A bit more muzzle blast tho. Both have Contender front sites and the NE has had the rear site moved back. I do have a chrono and a standard WM, so I should compare them.

To put them in a historical[?] situation I call them 'deck guns'. They could be handy to repel boarders or to fire from the tops [masts].

My current project is to build a Renegade short carbine, 58cal. I am having difficulty locating a 58 barrel at any sort of reasonable price. Green Mountian should have some in August.

I thought I was the only one building a shortie 58!!

What are the specs on those short ones? Who did the work!?

 

[HellBound]

Since both barrels are round at the muzzel end I used contender front sights. Both barrels are sixteen inch. The NewEnglander has a Renegade trigger guard. I did the mods.

Still no good 58 barrels around.

P.A.

Can you please post a pic of the muzzle and front sights. Thanks

Sorry for the delay, I don't login everyday. I hope this shows what you want.

The Contender sight on the White Mountian [top] has been shortened to contour where the barrel goes octagon. This was needed because the length of the barrel was determined by the damage to it. The New Englander is round all the way so it is a full length Contender sight.

You can also see where I moved the New Englander rear sight back.
