P.s. The inletting of that escutcheon is scary good.

Yeah - both rifles have identical inletting of those barrel wedge escutcheons. Taylor rather excels at those - and other things.

Incidentally, the pistol grip Hawken's wiping stick is Osage Ornage, ie: aka hedgeapple, aka bodark.

He also made an Osage wiping stick for the bottom rifle .62cal., his 'match' rifle for longer range shoots so he could compete with my 14 bore.
He has since changed the sights from copying the original rifle's sights, to wide V, but prefers a front blade to a bead.

Too- the pictures of the bottom rifle were taken before the re-colour casehardening of the steel parts. They came out extremely nice.
