Yep me too. The way I see it I can't count my GM barrels or that makes my TC Hawken more of a Knight. That's why I won't put a Bergara barrel on my Pro Hunter, cause I don't want to turn my TC into a CVA

The Pedersoli version of the Hawken is pretty close.

I also was torn between my InvestArms Hawkens Carbine:



And my other Hawken Carbine PRB gun:



And my Lyman GPR:



And I couldn't forget my T/Cs, both Big Boar and New England:





But you forgot my Zoli Zuave:



But I still love my old faithful. Now this is a meat gun:



Sorry guys I guess I got a little carried away!!!

I love my Hawken rifles and my Renegades to but the one I kept when I was building them and my old original underhammer will be with me to the end.

Get ready to laugh people. I now own 22 side-locks, you name it I have it now or have had it.. Lyman, Traditions, InvestArms, Mendi, Thompson Center, Zoli, CVA and a couple of custom jobs. Of them all my favorite is my ugly stick. A cheap old CVA Bobcat. It now has a wooden stock and ram rod along with adjustable metal sights. That little girl has put more meat in the freezer and won more jackpot shoots than all the others put together. If something happened and I could only keep one of my guns, black powder or center fire, she would be the one I kept. She isn't the best looking gun in my cabinets but is the most reliable. It doesn't matter what you cram down her throat; sabot, conical or round ball it is all the same to her. I wouldn't trade her for the highest price side-lock on the market or sell her if I was offered a grand.

Matters of the heart are beyond one's power to understand or explain WCW. A man can't help what he loves.
