200th Anniversary J&S Hawken

Good Morning everyone. I want to share with the forum a rifle that I just completed for the Masonic Mountain Men. They will be raffling this rifle off to raise funds for their Charities, Shriner's Hospital and Wounded Veterans. The drawing for this rifle will be on Christmas eve of this year. Tickets can be obtained from the Masonic Mountain Men, please see their website for information. We are going to have this rifle at the NRA Show in Indianapolis in April, the Tennessee show, the CLA show and the Hawken Classic in August. You can get tickets at any of these events.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I am proud of the way this rifle turned out and I feel that it should do well as a fund raiser for the Mountain Men. Please stop by if you are attending any of the events I mentioned to look at the rifle first hand.

Can you let us know when the tickets can be purchased? I went to their website and I dont see them.
Great causes and good for you to donate your efforts.

Snapper I just got the rifle photographed and mailed the pictures to them on Friday. They should have the pictures and the tickets up on their web page in the next couple of weeks, Thanks for the support.

That's a real beauty of a Hawken, Jim. Can't wait to see it at the Knoxville show.

Saw this rifle as a work in progress at the Harrisburg, PA Show and liked it then. But finished, it is a real beauty. Hope my name is on the winning ticket!!!
