Who makes hawks from gun barrels....I may have a deal for someone. I have an old caplock rifle that was destroyed by my sister when she was very young (she is now 62 knocked it over down a set of stairs, stock is broken). It was very old when it was given to my father. It was non-functional at the time more of a wall hanger but still old has curly maple stock.
I want to make a deal with someone. Based on lock design probably from mid to late 19th century. It can't really be used as wall hanger. I want a pipe hawk out it and maybe a knife. The maker can have the rest of the barrel for their use. Barrel is at least 36 inches long. They would get the lock stock and barrel, in return I want a pipe hawk and knife....the stock could be used for handles on the knife...I am not sure it could be used on the hawk. Simple design would like the brass from the trigger guard used.
Anybody up to this???
How about Steve at Coal Creek?
See additional information on the "deal" below, someone pointed out that I left something out.....like the money angle.
