redheart,
I was on John's list for a .45 Cal Hawken that I expected to get by next summer/fall when he emailed me about this Hawken he was making. After inquiring about Bob Hoyt gain twist barrels, I was more than happy to get this one early. Plus TOTW and Hornady ammo is available for the .47 Cal...tippit

My Bergmann is a 54 with a 1 1/8" tapered to 1" barrel 34" long made by Hoyt and it weighs 11.5 pounds

John does nice work, and it looks like you got a looker to boot.  Very nice.  John also really stands behind what he makes, and is a nice guy.   God Bless,   Marc
