After my thread on the T/C renegade Rifle pretty much ran its course and it went into a discussion about J&S Hawken Rifles and the various copies I decided to post this link discussing authentic Hawkens, near replica Hawkens and the not so accurate "Hawken" rifles by TC and others. Its an interesting read and gives a little more insight into the development of the Guns sparked by a resurgence in Hawken Rifles mentioned in movies and books.

Notice how in the letter sent to the editor one reader complained about all the Hawken articles in the Muzzleloading mags of the day. I understand his frustration because I did the same thing with all the 1911 articles and all the AR-15 threads here and on a couple of other forums.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy the read. And remember all opinions are valid. But they are more easily tolerated when sweetened with cool replies and room for the opinions of others.
