dartonman Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Went to a consignment auction with the wife and one of my sons, and put some bids on some guns at a slow pace, and won three of the ones up for sale. I won a Hawkins blackpowder rifle, brand new, and just awesome looking for $ 130.00 they stated it was a CVA made in Spain, but it looks just like a traditions. I also purchased an old Iver Johnson Champion 16 guage single shot for a mere $ 65.00, and its it about 90 percent condition, and a Savage Arms single shot 12 guage for $ 40.00. Not great deals, but I feel they were nice deals, and I now finally own a Hawkins rifle for primitive seasons other than Illinois. Have a great day. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sounds like you did good, Al. The only concern I would have is the H&R 12 Ga. They are known to have firing pin issues. I don't remember if it was something to do with the machining or certain brands of shells.. Hopefully you won't have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sounds like some nice deals Al! I'd love an ole single shot 16ga sometime, it'd be a perfect gun to have in the front seat of the truck in grouse season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear the drum of a grouse again.Just as I'd like to shoot another one or at least try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartonman Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ruttinbuc, I was mistaken, the 12 guage is a Savage single shot, and Shaun.....we will hold on to the 16 guage for you, if I ever get rid of it, its yours........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
