Hawken hammer notch
« on: November 28, 2017, 12:15:31 PM »
Been looking at Hawkens lately and noticed that some guns have the stock notched for hammer travel. Why do some have it and some don't?

Some "Hawken" replicas are so poorly done that odd modifications are seen.
Just what do you mean by hammer notch????

Are the Hawken rifles you are referring to flint or percussion?
