Kentucky Colonel's 1970 GRRW Half-Stock Hawken is finished and in the mail, expected at his home this coming Wed. afternoon.
Carl Walker (first and former employee of Green River Rifle Works), was one of two employees that would have originally shipped this "kit" gun out from Roosevelt Utah. The "GRRW Kit" has floated around the country changing hands several times before John (Kentucky Colonel) acquired the gun. KC thought the name "Traveler" would be a good handle for his newest toy.
Shown below is a picture of the builder Carl Walker and another picture of the famous Doc White with Carl holding KC's Hawken.
