Well its an update on both the Accuracy and stock redo. First off, after adding the washer under the tang and now being able to tighten down the screws all the way, i got rid of the springiness and accuracy seems to.
Like a lot of forum members, I started muzzleloading back in the 70s. My first was a Numrich Minute Man flintlock. The barrel is still in service today but I long ago junked the rest of the rifle.
Eventually I decided to try one of those new fangled caplocks and purchased a Green River Rifle Works Leman kit. I still have that rifle.
What I really wanted was a GRRW Hawken. But at $100 more than the Leman, it was out of my graduate student reach. A few years ago I picked up a slightly used Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken at a very good price. Shortly thereafter, a Sharon Hawken stumbled into my path.
I soon found myself keeping an eye out for other vintage Hawken repros; not actively looking, just taking advantages of opportunities as they came along. Ansi C Balaguruswamy Free Rapidshare Movies. As a result, I wound up with my Accidental Hawken Collection.
From the top they are: 1. Ozark Mountain Arms,.54 2. Sharon Rifle Barrel Co.,.54 3. A gun I built from an orphaned set of 1970s parts from Golden Age Arms and other places. The.62 1 1/8” barrel was originally 38” but I cut it to 34”. It’s still a beast.
A gun I built from an orphaned Uberti kit in.54. This is not the Santa Fe Hawken (see below) but very much resembles the current Pedersoli. I was unaware Uberti ever offered this. A current production Pedersoli Rocky Mtn. Hawken,.54 6. A rifle I built from a Don Stith J&S parts set..54 I decided if I was going to have all of these others, I might as well have one of the best Hawkens out there. I still have to rust blue the barrel.
The most recent purchase, a (at long last) GRRW Hawken in.54 8. A rifle built in the 70s or maybe early 80s, no maker’s name.
The lock is a Russ Hamm in a style I don’t recall him making but it’s clearly stamped on the inside of the plate. In.45 with a 1 1/8” bbl, it’s another beast but very accurate. The rifle has seen some heavy use and has a nice patina which appealed to me. And it was cheap. A Uberti Western Arms/Allen Arms Santa Fe Hawken in.52. This one is marked Western Arms.

Love the collection! You need to belong to the Green River Rifle collectors association. Just so happens I publish the GRRW collectors newsletter(The Green River Gazette)which is full of useful and a little not so useful information.
The price is right(free, just need your e-mail address), can't beat that this day of age. If you can send me the serial number and picture of the touch mark that's on the oblique flat back by the breech, I can tell you which maker built it at GRRW and probably when it was shipped and maybe even to whom. I can even e-mail you all the back issues of the Gazette(I think there is 9 now)which will bring you up to speed with the rest of the members. My e-mail is bob@bucksnorttrading.com Bob.
