I shovel snow. Just give me about 56 hours notice and I'll be there!

I'm also impressed Coca Cola was using nudity to market their product. I've always preferred it over Pepsi.

So what is the story on that Hawken or Plains rifle? I'd be interested to see more pictures of it.

I understand the poster was used during WWI with the military as the audience.

It's a 54 caliber half-stock Plains rifle. The last rifle made by my late friend Bill Fuller of Copper Landing, Alaska. For those with some background in muzzle-loaders he was the son of (slug-gun fame) Carl Fuller, California. Bill made many Hawken rifles one of which is in the Hawkem museum in St. Lewis(?).



Back in the old-days ;-) at Bill's Shop. Bill at the far right with the heavy barreled Sharps. No reproductions here.

Ever shoot it? Looks like a nice rifle from the limited view. Is it walnut or maple? Hard to tell in the photo.

More pictures are always welcome - I'm in the middle of building one, thus the elevated interest.

Michael,
Another thank you for sharing those pictures and also for answering numerous questions when one calls out of the blue.

Who was the maker of the one in the lower left rack with the ivory insert? Maybe it's the angle and lighting but the stock looks very dark.

I've shot it some and can keep them in a small propane bottle offhand at 100 yards. The lock was by Ron Long don't remember who's barrel it is. Maple stock stained dark red.

This is a poor picture, remind me after the holidays and I'll take a proper one if you still have an interest.

Very nice! You should kill a moose with it! I would!

I would love to see more pictures. Particularly if it has a beaver tail cheek.

Is the lock cased or browned? Looks like it might be cased but hard to say from here.

Nice rifle!
