Send me a note at rbpodge@twlakes.net and let me know if you got his number or not. If not, I have his info at home and will get it to you tomorrow when I get back home around lunch.

Send me your e-mail address via "PM" here or to: Buck100-10X@nc.rr.com

John and I are friends on Facebook and I will message him your contact info.

I sold a real nice Hawken made by John back in the early '90's, at a gun show last year.

I finally got in touch with John and discussed a Flintlock Hawken build. Do you know of any of his used Hawkens available now?
Thanks...tippit

Post by: D. Buck Stopshere on September 05, 2017, 04:31:29 AM: Fortunately for me, I found three Hawkens in a pawn shop, a .54 caliber by the late Ted Fellows, a .54 caliber by Joe Corley, and the John Bergmann in .50 caliber. I need to post the photos of the Corley Hawken on the "The Accidental Vintage Repro Hawken Collection" thread, I guess.
