Hallo Glenn<br>
<br>
Nope... it's the real deal. This is the same technology that has pinpointed
Mayan ruins and other interesting sites. As far as I know, there is no way
for the space jockeys to figger out if it's a Lewis & Clark camp, or
another camp of similiar time frame. They find "possible" sites, and then
they send in folks on the ground to check the sites.<br>

don
believe the people at track of the wolf or one of their vendors took one
of his sights and used it as a model for a mold---also l & R has one but
not like shillingers reont of the sight different---see page 272 of the
track catalog----the jp gemner sight is also refered to as a hawken rear
sight as a couple of hawkens have them on them and as you know gemner
bought out the hawken shop and even stamped hawken on a few
rifles---befor they got to putting gemner on them---gemner bought into
the hawken business in 1962 if i am not mistaken---old man shillinger
hachined his sights out of stock as you well know and they were works of
art---I have 3 guns with his locks in them ---the ones with the short
throw---I built a hawken for erwin davis and he has a shillinger lock and
a sight on his gun just like the one you are looking for---I may have one
in the shop will dig around but the one i have may be browned because i
took it off of a rifle ---will drop you a offline if i find it if not jog
my memory in a couple of days offline and i'll let you know if i find
it---I know i have one of the track ones around---
one other place to possibly find one is from Don Steith in vergenia---he
builds a few hawkens and even has his version of a kit he has his own
castings for trigger guard and butplate and breech plug---taken from his
original he has---the guard is thinner than most and the bow is slightly
bigger than the ones you normally see---the butplate is thinner and
smaller than most of them on the market today ---don's e-mail address is
- ---- ONTARGETS@aol.com ----he is a close friend of mine so tell him i
told you to drop him a line---bet if anyone has a shillinger it will be
him or me---I had a half dozen of them but may have used them up---I
still have one set of cherry corners hawken triggers---
if you need hawken parts get with me off line or give me a call---
