"don't get any other brand, they work up here, the others don't go off in the snow, sleet and windy conditions."


Anyone who says that and actually believes it, is well....... You fill in the blank. As for tc or lyman being easier to work with, I dont think theres any flintlock out there thats made easier to work with if you dont have a clue how they work or what you're doing.
Buy an original hawkens, The original kentucky rifles dont go off in snow, sleet or wind.
BTW, you guys really need to get over what i said about idahos sidelock rules. Its my opinion, if you dont like it, to bad. No reason to start crying because you didnt like what some other guy said. IMO, if you guys would spend more time fighting with idahos law makers, instead of people on the net, you guys probably would get their ruling resolved a lot faster. Dont B itch about what people on the net say, If you're a resident of idaho or hunt in idaho,and you dont agree with their laws, argue with them about it. Dont go attacking people on the net who have different opinions.
