I picked one of these up from my grandad and was wondering if there is any tips that somebody might have, or maybe if some of you have had any experiences with this gun you might care to share with me. The one that I just got has peep sights, which seem to work pretty good. It is also a 54 cal. but doesnt seem to kick any harder than the .50 T&C Hawken that I had. When I got it, it had a black almost bedliner looking finish over the stock, I guess to make it look synthetic. But when I noticed some small cracks in the finish I scaped one of them and noticed that the stock is made of Walnut. It scraped, sanded and refinished the stock and now it is really a nice looking gun. I picked up the gun for $100 with a kit of powder bisquits and saboted bullets. I think that I did ok considering that this gun also has the nice Williams peep on it as well. What do you guys think?
