Wanted: replacement barrel for left-handed cabelas hawken
« on: March 19, 2008, 10:45:24 AM »
I've got a left hand .54 cal cabelas hawken in need of a new barrel.  I tried calling cabelas but no luck.  Green mountain does not offer any left hands.  I read that the lyman trade rifle and deerstalker rifles are the same guns as the cabelas and barrels will interchange.  Anyone tried this?  Also can a great plains rifle barrel be made to work?  Any info would be great.

Check out Track of the Wolf for replacement barrels.  You might want to call them and talk to them to see if they can help you.

If its flint you are looking for, rmcsports.com has the barrel to fit, at least in 50 and 32 cal. I have the same hawkin, left handed and replaced my barrel with one of theirs. Had to file a little bit as i recall but nothing major.
