appears to be a way over priced copy of a Hawken to me...............On the rifle in the sales ad by Jack, the wood to metal fit around the tang & lock work left much to be desired.......the quality & finish of the stock appeared to be only that of a decent amateur's build.............

There is a certain crowd of muzzle loaders who will pay a big premium for a Green River Rifle Works rifle.Back in the 70s if you had one you really had something.If you had one Ole Bluejacket had personally built when he worked there the sky was the limit and to some extent still is.
