Hi, Mogorilla:
The CVA Hawken is on the disapproved lost. (The entire list, as it currently stands, can be found at the top of this board.)
This decision was made with the future of the group in mind -- what a Plainsmen Society encampment will look like ten years from now. Our goal is to achieve a higher level of authenticity than the traditional mountain man rendezvous, where such rifles, along with gold buckskins and pounds of beads, bangles and badges predominate. For the American Plainsmen Society, picture an encampment somewhere near Westport Landing, where men and women are readying their outfits for the big push across the frontier -- Santa Fe, back home to Texas, the Upper Missouri, the gold fields ...
Also picture songs around a campfire, good conversation, new friends, and challenging shooting matches.
Best regards,
Caleb
