In this video, we're unboxing the kit to get a detailed look at each of the parts before we move onto assembly. I talk about each of the Hawken parts, their purpose and place on the muzzleloader, some of my top tips for muzzleloader kit building, and my recommendations on what to research before starting.
In the next part of this series, we will cover some of the tools needed for this project and then we will move onto fitting the parts!
If you have any questions about this kit or the techniques I'm using, leave them in the comments below. I will address as many comments as I can in videos associated with this series to give you as much detail as I can about the answer.
