This year I purchased a used flintlock Hawken style 50
caliber rifle (1 in 48 twist) that was originally
marketed by Cabela's. It was manufactured by
"Investarm SPA" in Marcheno, Italy. I don't think it
is in the same class as the guns I saw recently at
Dixon's Muzzleloader Fair. I certainly don't think it
would fire if you dumped the lock under water as seen
in the flintlock tuning seminar by Mr. Casteel. But
then I only spent $150 for it. I am hoping it is
sufficient to bring down my first muzzleloader
whitetail doe this fall.

One thing about it that dissapoints is that the breech
is designed in such a way that when you run a cleaning
patch down the barrel, it bottoms out before it even
reaches the touchhole. Makes it hard to clean
properly.
