Nice looking pieces, how about a little history?

Just have to love the earlier firearms. Calibre?

Top is .50 caliber with L&R Lock and 35" barrel. Made by Tom Watson over in Georgia! He does excellent work! Ignition is very fast; has Chambers vent system.

Lower is a Green River Rifle Works Hawken in .54 caliber and both rifles are very accurate. I use 100 grs. KIK 2F blackpowder in both rifles; use Goex 4F in the pan of the flintlock!

Both...give me a 'break' from modern rifles and the accuracy of both makes one realize that the ODG didn't lack for quality equipment!

Very cool.

Never have had the nerve to try this ol' beast. And now I can't. It's donated to a museum.
