My new Hawken .54 Flinter - 24hourcampfire

Tom Watson told me this rifle was a shooter and I believe him. The sights on the rifle were not quite right for me so I took it out this afternoon and did a little tapping and filing! First shot was left at 9 o/clock so tapped it over and fired 3 low at 6 o/clock then I broke out my file and did a little cut down job on the front sight! I think it's OK now. Fired this at 60 yards.

Looks like an "Ol Knock ‘em Stiff" for sure!!!!!!

( Is that one of Mr. Willyard’s fancy scratched up powderhorns?).

Maybe so! On the other hand...could be it fell outa my PU and got scratched in the gravel!!

I’m always amazed at how accurate my .54 cal Hawken is!

Beauty of a Hawken! Mine should be here sometime in June, It will be a close copy of Carson's. Percussion, 54 cal, 32 inch tapered barrel. I can't wait and you ain't helping!

That is a special rifle. Looks great and shoots great.

Super nice, good shooting! I sure like my 54 cal Hawken PRB rifle too!

I built my own long ago and the .54 is amazing. I never shot a deer that did not drop at the shot.

No...it's a Tom Watson build. Tom's over in Georgia and does great work! Great guy to deal with!

Nice!

I’ll have to see if Mr. Watson has a website to preview his wares. That’s one heck a nice fainter you have there!
