Cook and Brother carbine is inbound. Uniform slight delay. Will be good to go all for less than $800.00

Boots and saddles, oiling a McClellan Cavalry saddle, and tack, all day, 2 hour ride in cold and wind, saddle good fit, horse is a gun horse, and good tempered. Been awhile since in a saddle, little sore in unmentionable places, but overall fun. My duster needs oiling too, a little wet on inside, got chilly near the end.

Got a shoot with locals in two weeks, and a Winter shoot in three, so should be a fun time.

If I get the Hawken tuned in may come back for the Nebraska State Games 200yard Traditional Shoot in June. Can still stack hits in the 5 ring at about 150yards, so another 50 is just a little elevation, and a good wind. I once hit and dropped a deer with the Hawken at about 200yards, good base of neck shot (where I aimed) and rose barrel about an inch and a half. .54's full loads do have a knock down. Also found a H+R 1871 Buffalo Rifle in 45/70 for $325, again I do not like chasing a bleeding out deer.

Maybe you need then chamber reamed? I've heard some reproductions rifles have (back in the day) had those issues.
