I received as gift a BP muzzleloader of the following description:
It is a traditional Hawken Mountain Rifle, .50 cal., apparently a browned finish, with these markings on the octagonal barrel.
Top flat, in Script: The Johnathon Browning Mountain Rifle
On the left side: Browning Arms Co., Montreal, Utah and Montreal, P.O., Made in U.S.A.
On right side: .50 Caliber Black Powder Only Patent Pending
No Brass anywhere. No patch pocket.
It has a beautiful burled stock and forearm without a mar or scratch.
The only damage is 4 screw holes in top of barrel, apparently for a scope or other sight.
Has one seen or heard of this one? Will the screw hole holes weaken the chamber/barrel?
Thanks, TN Butch
