Posting these for Ray. Here is his .58 Buffalo Hunter:



And here is his Hawken, .58 as well:

Thanks Bill..

Happy to help, Ray. I hope you are not in dutch with the missus over using her nice pillow cases.

Those rifles are rather nostalgic for Ray...they were the only kind available when he was a kid :-)

Mr. B, your a funny man, but that is a rather trueistic statement my man! but only if trueistic is a word, if not it should be!

That Investarms HAWKIN, is the same gun as a Navy Arms, Investarms made Navy Arms muzzle loaders..I was amazed at the comb height when I got it, I couldn't get down on the irons to even see them..Out came the cabinet rasp and I wacked off 1-3/4 to may 2 inches to get it right, as pictured in the photos..No wonder they hung Mussalini by his heels and beat him to death!! I think I misspelled Musalinii twice now!

Ray, remember the Thompson Center Big Boar? It was a carbine-length BP rifle in 58 Caliber. I used to shoot big Mini-Balls out of mine...it was a hammer, for sure.

I do recall that one, Never shot one, but Ive witnessed the 58 cal used on elk with a round ball and it sure knocked the crap out of them, I could actually see the difference in it and the 54 on the larger bulls..but the heavy bullets were also a hammer in both the 58 and 54 within proper range..My shooting will be limited to under 100 yards. I don't believe in pushing my luck with any caliber.

Hey Bill,
I have a friend whos wife is a nurse in a hospital, She got me 15 cleaned pillow cases from the hospital that they were tossing...Her husband is a guide and uses them for elk and deer quarters. They work great,also for picture background I thought, but you busted me right off the bat!

Ray, sounds like marital harmony has been preserved.

Indeed it do!

Its warming up in Idaho off and on of course..I will shooting these 3 muzzle loaders, will probably keep one and sell two at reasonable prices..Anyone interested in which one? I will make note and contact you and probably put them up in the classified.

My horse had to be put down today broke his hoof off in the pasture..Selling two of my 3 muzzle loaders, keeping my 54 Lyman with both barrels..selling some other nice guns also,put them on AR classified today..Damn horses like I use in competition are bloody expensive but I would rather rope than eat, shoot or whatever...
