Nope, not yet. I will be tuning my traditional percussion Hawken up for late season Whities pretty soon!

Well done, lads!
Ahhhh...the fragrant aroma of the thick clouds of smoke!
The jet of flame from the muzzle!
I am seriously considering taking the flintlock plunge in 2008 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Simon Fraser's jaunt down the river. Now that our dollar is favourable vis a vis the US dollar, I can finally afford to order from the US. And finish making my new knife and horn as well.
I would sell my T/C Hawken outfit and start afresh!
Probably another .50, I think.

Not this year...yet
double trigger .54 Hawken with 230 grain patched round balls
So far it's taken a fat 3x3 muley @100
2x2 whitey @ 150
nice cinnamon bear @ 80
I love the way you can almost hear the bullet whistling thru the air and that delayed smack.
