i had to do pdf that's the only way for me to figure it out ! lol well that sucks that you can't spring for one even though i can afford it i'm probably going to do some safe cleaning if you know what i mean i find myself not wanting do deal with the modern stuff too much anymore !

The prices aren't quite as bad as I thought they might be...don't think I can swing one though.

Well, there not too far above TVM's prices for a custom rifle. You can get a Lehman through TVM for around $1300 and you can have it built in flint or perc. and any caliber from .32 - .58 but I see GRRW only offers it in .40 and .45

Wow, a full stocked custom flintlock for $1875 (top end)! That is one heck of a price. I just may start selling a couple CFs off myself and grab one.
If I do it's going to be a 36" .58.

There is a good possibility I may just to that BPS. But it will have to wait until I get back up north. I may even sell off a couple of my other MLs. I'm growing more fonder of the .54 and .58 over the .50.
IMO they are just better game getters. Especially the .54.
My current stock of T/Cs with GM barrels may be on the selling block when I get back home as well as some CF rifles.
MS - didn't I read that they make combos? Just swap out barrels and lock and you'll be good to go.

I have so many questions such as what kind of wood for the stocks, brand of lock and barrel, twist rates? What kind of finish is available - blued or browned? If I decide to go this route I would like a curly maple stock. Not sure what locks are available. I'd like either a L&R or Siler.

you will be able to go over all that when your gunsmith gets hold of you for your build just make some notes of what you want and he will let you know if it's doable ?

Any idea how long the waiting list is? I sure wouldn't want to go on a waiting list and not wait so long as to be too old and feeble to hunt with it!!
A full stock flintlock Hawken looks real nice in the pics on their site.
The half stock Missouri River Hawken looks good too. Hmmmm wonder if there's a discount on a multiple purchase...:-)
