Well Nessmuk, you said recently that one should sell any firearm that you haven't fallen in love with in 6 months. Does that pertain to knives, hawks, and fire starting paraphernalia. The Hawken performed better,  so I think I'll keep it. But concerning the other items, it's debatable. Of course Hank recommended having the shoots in my yard. I haven't accomplished that yet.

Damn I just ordered some BP cleaner/lube from hoppes.
 I didn't see and sxs.
 Nice piece, outta be fun. Congrats

Yep, Hoppe's put this out back in the 70's, along with the New Orleans Ace and a pepperbox.  I think the pepperbox was also a .36 and the Ace was a .40 something.   Maybe a .44?  I had one for a while but found it really difficult to shoot.  To aim, one had to hold it at about a 45 degree angle and hope for the best.  Really a belly gun if there ever was one.
Not a target pistol at all.

That is gonna be fun to play with!

I lucked into this on another ML forum. 1980s vintage Ethan Allen .36 cal sxs sold by Hoppe's - yep, that Hoppe's. As soon as the monsoons decide to stop attacking I'm going to blast my way out of a paper bag. 

only if it helps, Salty, only if it helps!!
