That's what I would call a "sinful" Traditions Hawken. Good price, and I really like laminate stocks. Anyway, there would be no shame in putting a scope on that one.

I don't like it, and I don't need it, and I refuse to buy it.. Semisane on the other hand could use a rifle like that. Don't worry, it does not need BlackHorn 209. But you do.

Uh uh! It's one of those guns that are just "not my thing". Besides, a new Green Mountain 1 in 70" twist .54 caplock barrel for the Renegade arrived today in the big brown truck. Had to do the standard 1/8" cut off of the under rib to get it into the stock.So nowthe sinful .45 LRH barrel is in the closetand the iron sighted .54 is in the stock.Look for a range report next Monday.
Oh, here's another one for you to chew over. I put the following ad on the Louisiana Sportsman forum two days ago.

Got and Old Rusted Renegade? I need a parts gun. Looking for an old Thompson Center RENEGADE. Don't care about barrel condition. If you have a junker you want to get rid of, shoot me an e-mail.

Now THAT'S a gun I could buy. But DANG, you can buy a factory reconditioned Lyman Trade Rifle in .54 flint of $30 less.

It looks like a black/nickel/laminate version of the Traditions "Woodsman". I have the Woodsman and it's always been a great little gun. Taken three deer with it, which is more than any of my other black powder guns so I've got a soft spot for it. Although, my Omega is quickly catching up... There's just something about a sidelock that's more "classy" yet rustic at the same time. Like a restored model T.
Now that trapper pistol. Hmmm. I may get me one of them. I am planning to use my 50 cal caplock for bear this year and this may be a nice carry for a second shot.

I'm not as good as I'm gonna get - but I'm better than I used to be. "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."
Awesome sidelock!
