You put it in pdf form, but that will work.
The prices are cheaper than I would have thought. No where near a custom built gun. More along the lines of one of the mid priced kit guns.
edit....Oops! I should have read it first. Those prices are just for the labor for them to build it. You have to buy the parts separate. I'll never be able to afford one.

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

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.

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.

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...:-)
