All is fine. No one is upset.
I also have a reproduction muzzleloading rifle - not perfect, but very close & well made. It is the Confederate rendition of the Enfield 1861 "Musketoon", and a good shooter it is, with patched round balls. I also have custom made muzzleloading rifles & a flintlock smoothbore, custom made.

Compared to $3,000.00 or thousands more $$ for custom rifles, the production rifles of Pedersoli, Traditions, Thompson Center and Lyman are quite inexpensive. They are entirely useable, but Hawken's they most definitely are not, that is all - a point I thought that should be made.

Ovny - have fun.
