My Customized 54 Hawken

[Joec7651]

I sent it to The Gun Works in Oregon and had Joe Williams work his magic with it. It started as a 54 cal TC Hawken. He built a 36” cut rifled round ball barrel for it with a 1:79 twist, and he added a Lyman micro adjustable peep sight with a German silver front sight blade.

I refinished it with a rust browned finish, silver plated hardware, and polished the walnut finish.

The target in the picture was shot at 100 yards on a windy day. The 3 in the center was my last 3 shots. The 2 holes to the right are the previous 3 shots.

Oh, how I enjoy shooting this rifle.

It is definitely a handsome piece. Looks as if it performs very well in your hands.

Excellent 100 yard group! And that rifle is very pleasing to the eye.

Nice shooting and really like the peep sight also besides that nice looking rifle.

Good looking rifle. Hope you are able to take more game with it. Dan.

Can you post a pic of the bear?

I haven’t been lucky enough to connect on a black bear with it yet. I’ve gotten a few deer and a coyote with it though. It knocks them flat.
