Default I guess I went and done it again..




I was looking at auction sites and noticed a sweet nearly new .50 caliber Tradition's Hawkins Woodsman flintlock with a 1-48 twist. I liked the look of the stock and the other pictures of the rifle. Since this was a no reserve auction I new it would go cheaper then most, but never guessed I could make a simple bid and end up winning the auction. So even though I claimed a while back that I was done buying more rifles, I guess I am stuck with another one. I just got verification of the win...

Nice find. What did you steal it for?

I bought a TC frizzen a couple months back and am going to do some welding on it to fit it to my traditions lock.

nope, that was a really good deal on that rifle. My traditions loves 110 fffg powder and PRB. Make sure you let us know how it shoots.

You poor man now you have to go throught all that work, working up loads, and fixing flints sure you can handle all the extra work. I would save you all that stress just send that dirty ole gun south a ways. I wouldn't want your spring cleaning to suffer

your kindness and thoughtfulness touches me deeply. But I will bare the burden and not shift that to others more fortunate.

I've been talking to him through e-mails. He already told me the loads it likes, and said he will ship it probably Monday. So things are looking up. Now it is a waiting game. He bought the rifle to hunt with while waiting for a custom rifle to be made for him. Once the other one came he saw no use in keeping both. Glad I don't think that way...
