Lets see your Hawken/Plains Rifle

  Dave the little gun actually has quite the little story to it. It's 45 caliber with an 1 1/8 inch straight barrel. Don't know much about the lock. Long time ago when I was first starting out in Muzzeloader s. A old friend of mine, passed now. Gave it to me.
 We were at a shoot at his place an I showed up with my T.C. Hawkings. He said what's that you carring. I told him an he said to shinny... Better have this one.
 The tacky racks he put on a long time ago. Special meaning to him.  Out to 60 yards she's a rack driver.  Killed the 8 point I pictured last fall.  Dave she's not pretty but she's a special gun to
 me. May my friend Pappy Blakeslee who gave the gun to me R.I.P.  Oldtravler

This is 50 cal that I finished a couple of years ago.  A friend that had a muzzleloading shop had started it before passing away.  This rifle saw a couple of moves and in the process got banged up pretty bad, so I tried my had at aging it, came out okay.  Hopefully I’ll get this out to shoot some, come better weather.
