“More complex than our flint longrifle parts kits, a Hawken rifle is not recommended as a first gun-making project unless you have machinist’s skills, or an experienced mentor to guide your work.” (Catalog # 18, Track of the Wolf, Inc.)
A Collaboration in Gun Building | Chuck Edwards and Hershel House, Muzzle Blasts Archives2004
I first met Chuck Edwards in October of 2001 at a rendezvous in bis hometown of Bloomfield, Missouri. I recognized him from a photograph in an article written by Ted Franklin Belue entitled "Chuck Edwards: Steeped in the Woodbury Tradition." As a gun builder myself I have been a longtime admirer of Hershel House (ever since the Foxfire 5 article), and more recently of Chuck Edwards.
