Part II of how reproduction Hawken rifles out there that are advertised as Hawken copies aren't correct and more of what to look for.

The location of the Hawken Shop has been for a number of years now, is right up the road from my house. & when I get the money, I'll have one. I've purchased many supplies from that shop over the years, & hopin to soon have my Hawken. People may try saying it's not a true Hawken, & granted it's no longer made by the Hawken family, but their kits are built to Hawken standards. The even have literature telling a summary of how they came to be in Washington, & received the blessings of the Hawken family to carry on the name. Awesome video by the way.

Good video, however when you post a written statement, how about leaving it up long enough for those of us who are not speed readers to get through it.

Hey Compadre, you are so blessed to have a copy of Bob Woodfill's great book! I dearly want that book but it is very pricey when you can even find one. Another great book on Hawken guns is 'The Hawken Rifle; Its Place In History' by James Hansen, available from The Museum Of The Fur Trade in Chadron Nebraska and on their website. Thanks for doing your part to get the word out on Hawken rifles. TC

Any chance of researching William Hawken? ( son of Samuel , I think!) I saw a picture of one of the rifles he made and it looked like the Thompson Center Hawken. I wedge, oblong trigger guard with brass. Thank you for the info 👍

In 1977/8 I, wanted a Hawken and built one that is an exact true rifle! I, went to Cody and held /photographed a real 1934 Rifle. I also have the best book and documentation. Even full sized layout and design. My rrifle is down to the subtle stock lines straighr , curved and belled. It is cammoed as were many of the originals. 58 caliber sharon barrel. Alll furnituer was duplicated from original! it is super accurate and powerfull. Just like the Cody gun . I, think I still have everything that helped me.

Austin. Halleck. Made. A. 50. Cal. Mountain. Rifle. That. Looked. A. Lot. Like. An. Original. Hawken. It. Had. One. Barrel. Wedge. And. No. Patch. Box. It. Didn't. Have. Any. Brass. Acessories. On. It. And. Had. 32in. Barrel.

So. Does. Adding. A. Period. After. Every. Word. Make. This. Seem. Better?. No Half-stock Hawken Rifles had only one barrel wedge, NONE. Hawken rifles that weren't full stock rifles always had TWO barrel wedges, so then the Austin Halleck would have been more like a copy of a Dimick rifle.

Great video sir I enjoyed it very much, I greatly admire your Mountain Rifle, I always wanted one but never got the opportunity, the only BP Rifle I have was given to me by a friend, I stripped the finish off, cleaned up the lines of the stock and used Dutch oil to finish the stock. Hope to see more from you in the future. Ps would like to know how you gave your barrel that aged look.
