Thread: New Barrel on the Hawken

Yep I`ve been beavering away making a new .45 barrel for my Hawken plains rifle using my new system , so hopping it will be a lot better one. Only time will tell, have cut the octagonal and milled the sight dove tails and now fitting the under barrel bar and ramrod guide . Then a clean up to get it ready for browning and when that's done it`s off to the range to set the sights and see how it shoots. So if I`m making barrels they have to be good, will keep you posted on results.

, looking good.
, .450" cut rifled to .470" six groves, 1-48" twist, should be good after 5,000 balls through it.
