Title: The next project on the table!
Post by: MountainDevil54 on February 11, 2015, 07:24:29 PM

And yes, I have another one lined up after this one  :chuckle:

Another CVA Hawken .50cal with 1:48 twist. I decided that I will keep this barrel for myself and re-barrel it with a brand new .50cal 1:66 twist barrel that I already have browned and have new sights installed on.

Don't even ask about that ugly cheater sight!

50 yards shooting off a flimsy fence line. I installed factory sights for now until I get to re-building the barrel for my own use.

1:48 twist
80gr Goex 2F, .490 Round Balls, .020" patches lubed with birchwood casey muzzle magic cleaner.
