Books on building the "Hawken" rifle
« on: February 24, 2011, 08:27:25 PM »
So far I have read "Longrifle construction Manual" by Susanne Warren Bicio, Hawken Rifles the mountain mans choice and Fifteen years in the Hawken lode both by John D Baird.Im looking for more titles to buy and read on construction and anything else on the Hawken Rifle. Any suggestions appreciated. Frank

I think Hershel House has a video on Hawken construction.

Never underestimate the sheer destructive power of a minimally skilled, but highly motivated man with tools.

Jim Turpin has a video from Primitive Arts Video that includes building a Hawken rifle.

The Hershel House video seems better researched and follows a Hawken Shop diagram.
