[QUOTE="FrontierGander, post: 960639, member: 26439"] The CVA Hawken is very easy to find. Mine however has the rare 1" barrel channel. Not many CVA Hawken rifles came with a 1" barrel channel, I got **** lucky with mine. Nor will you find a CVA Hawken in .58 caliber. I used a CVA Mountain Rifle barrel in 32" length, 1" width and then had to cut a new dovetail into the barrel so the wedge key would work with the current placement the stock is set up with. Not hard to do but one slip and you are out a barrel. The tang/rear section of the barrel and the trigger plate have all been acraglassed as well. The 58 tends to pull metal into the softer beech wood and so I had to beef it up to prevent the tang screw from loosening up. The rifle shoots excellent with charges up to 130 grains 1 1/2fg Olde Eynsford as well. It just kills the shooters bony shoulder after a half dozen shots. I actually built a clone for an online buddy and he was tickled to death with it. [IMG]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm53/thepowerbeltforum/Custom%20shop%20Finshes/IMG_2081.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
