[QUOTE="ChrisWilson, post: 3688495, member: 49139"] My first rifle was a TC Hawkins 50cal, Christmas present from my parents when I think I was 15, before that I had to borrow something to hunt with from my dad. I've hunted just about everything with that rifle and still have it, will probably go to my grandson when I pass. Always been into blackpowder rifles and hunting with them, got a small collection of them over the years. Probably my two favorites is my Lyman greatplains kit in 54Cal I built. Its as close as you can get to what a real Hawkins rifle looks like, I've killed several deer with it just using a patched roundball. Second favorite I have is a custom made Southern Mountain Rifle, its a lefthanded flintlock in .45cal, I took a nice buck with it the first year I hunted with it. Its the only lefty blackpowder I have all the others are righthanded but I don't have a problem shooting them. I've also got a French Tulle in .62cal, its a smooth bore so I've got some leadshot rounds I use in it as well as roundball. A .62cal roundball is a chunk of lead! Also have a nice Southern Mountain Rifle flintlock in .36cal thats fun to shoot. In the second pic its on top and my Lyman Greatplains is on the bottom. [/QUOTE]
