I'll have to admit you got some good tastes there Hawg. Did it come with a Vernier Sight?
Apparently your growing with the times Sir. Hello cartridge world good bye muzzle loader times. I'd be willing to take that 54 Hawken off your hands if needing a spot to store this rifle in? Yup I'd do that for yaw. No problem here in trying to help a feller out with that conundrum. (creating a storage vacancy for his new rifle)_

No vernier sight but it is d&t for one. I've used a vernier before but really didn't care much for it. The sporting rifle comes with a vernier sight, checkered wood, pistol grip stock and double set triggers. The business rifles aren't that fancy. I do wish it had double set triggers tho. This one breaks clean and no slop but it does have a little too much poundage on it. Get your greedy eyeballs off my Hawken, that baby ain't goin nowheres.

What a Jim Dandy for this coming Fall. Well its always fun having to re-tool for a new cartridge. Maybe someone here has a spare set of dies needing new ownership? Gee's I'd like to know how she shoots? What's your intentions. Are you going smokeless? or Pyro Select // Triple 777 loose with this one? Like you've said. Nice to have double sets. But so long as there is no feeling a gravely trigger pull and its trigger breaks nice and crisps. Hey so be it. _"Just another fun gun." My hats off and congrats in finding this one Sir._

Its not a cartridge gun exactly. Its a paper cutter. It uses paper cartridges loaded from the breech. You can use loose powder but it would be a pita to load. Smokeless is a no no and from what I've heard Pyro works but since the spark has to make two turns it slows down and kinda sounds like a poorly tuned flinter. Swiss is supposed to work really well and gives instant ignition and since I had the money and have been wanting some anyway I ordered five pounds of it.
Hawg, I had an Armisport paper cutter some time ago & loved but needed the $$ for some medical stuff so it's long gone. Here's a tip, before shooting and after loading, hold the rifle bbl upright and tap on the forearm a couple of times. This will get some of the powder into the cap channel and help ensure firing on the first try.

good find,I've been thinking about one for almost a year then seeing your post really made me jealous.I was stewing about it most of the day then this evening someone contacted me with a 1863 pedersoli 54cal sporting rifle with double set triggers and also had a bullet mold for it.Needless to say it's on it way to it's happy new home and I feel much better.
