And boy was it perfect timing, because I already got his Christmas Present! He was shocked this morning when he opened it. He went and look a look at my rifle and said he wants it exactly the same as mine. A nice brownish red with browned barrel and antique brass.
Traditions St.Louis Hawken .50cal 1:48 twist. I'll take my time and let him help me in the areas he is able to.
Looks happy! And he should be. My first muzzleloader was a CVA St. Louis Hawken, and I still have it. 50 cal., and over 70 gr. volume equivalent of Pyrodex RS it is a tackdriver and a joy to shoot.
Good morning
That is one happy dad ! May he be blessed with many a fine day out with his smoke pole.
