Anyone know of this builder

(1/2) > >>

Two Bears:
The builder's name of a Hawken .54 that I picked up here in Minnesota is   "DOC HOEL"  Any of you heard of this name before?

halfstock:
J. Wayne Heckert ( aka: Doc Heck ) as of Jan. 2008 125 maple road, Harrisburg, Pa.
Could this possibly be the maker ???????
Halfstock

Two Bears:
Nope, its a clean lettered "DOC HOEL"   
The rifle was made for "BLACKY FOX" which is stamped on the underside as well after the maker.

TomK:
Two Brears, got any pics? There is a guy up in Park Rapids or Walker that has a rifle in a Longville store. Maybe there are similarities?

Two Bears:
The pictures look like the wood is black but it is more of a brown/chocolate color and I can see a bit of figure in the wood and wonder if it would be better off stripped of its dark color and finished in a lighter tone.
