    Sights for a Traditions Hawken

    What's a good alternative to the stock plastic sights on the Traditions Hawken Kit? My kids got me a lot for my birthday, and this is the one thing I want to change. Are there any direct replacements or an I looking at a trip to the gun Smith to have it drilled and tapped? I'd prefer Lyman Peep...

    There are a few Civil War rounds I have, they were excavated in the mid 1890s and sold as souvenirs.

    The THR Walker Club

    I did read the cylinder was left in the white, and the barrel was blued. As for any information regarding ASMs history building these revolvers? Who imported them? Few things I've noticed is no 1847 stamping, Armi San Marco is on top of the barrel where the Colt Address would have gone, and the...

    Traditions Hawken missing screws

    I called them regarding a missing bolster screw for a DeerHunter. They had me a new one with in 3 days. Just have your serial number on hand, they will require that.

    Figured I'd add my newly acquired ASM Walker to this thread. 1979 date code and appears to be unfired. It has a unique silver finish to the cyl and barrel, not certain if its nickel, stainless or some other coating bit either way it stands out from my other revolvers!

    ASM Walker questions

    Aware of the difference grades stainless I used to work in the fabrication business, i just have no idea what alloy is used for firearms, and if this is just really well done polished bare or stainless. Previous owner said he never polished it in his 2 years of ownership. It's an interesting...

    ASM Walker questions

    That's it! It does seem to be a unique weapon. Only wear on it is the blueing on the back strap is worn, rest of the gun has no indication it's been fired. The seller stated black powder isn't his thing and he acquired it 2 years ago in a trade and he was told it was a Uberti from the previous...

    ASM Walker questions

    Good to know thanks, I polished the haxagon barrel on my Traditions Deer Hunter and within a day rusty finger prints started to show up before it was blued. So I honestly didnt know how long an in the white finish would last.

    ASM Walker questions

    I checked the cylinder and it is not magnetic, but the barrel is. While I was in the locker I checked my stainless Savage rifle, and that barrel is magnetic also.

    ASM Walker questions

    Picked up the ASM Walker off Gunbroker last week, it was advertised as a Uberti in the white unfired but no box. Got it today, it's a 1979 ASM with what looks like stainless cyl and barrel. I cant imagine a handled gun lasting 40 years in the white with no corrosion or blemishes especially with...
