If money was no object and you could pick any muzzy you wanted. what would you pick? Only one though .

Custom built, high end, best component, most authentic, bitchin,........ HAWKEN!

Me too only I would have it in 54 cal with a gain twist barrel .probably 1:96 to 1:48 Have to think about the twist gain a little

Custom flintlock, .50 caliber, 1-24 twist Doc White barrel, good wood, Chambers lock.

Authentic would be a straight 1-48. I would prefer a more RB twist, but then it wouldn't be authentic. I want a gun just like Kit Carson had.

Like this.

Gain twist barrels were used in the Spencer repeating rifle in the mid 1800's and in the harpers ferry muskets.so I think it would be ok to have it in a hawken

Custom White ThunderBolt 451 or 40cal 336 plug with a gain twist ending in 1-20 or 1-18. Extra lug and bedding. Made by Doc of course.

One like this in .54 slow twist. No, in .58. No! .54.

I don't understand your logic, but it's your dream gun. Have what you wish.
