Hi SmokePole, how's this project going?
It is interesting you're researching and wanting to build a J Hawken rifle, at least I think that's what I'm taking away from your posts.
I just ran across a post on another forum a couple days ago, talking about J Hawken rifles and how they are different from J S Hawken rifles. He posted the picture below, which came from an old Hawken Shop brochure a long time ago. I didn't know that there were any St Louis J Hawken rifles in existence. This is pretty interesting. If you wouldn't mind, can you list what resources you've been reading/researching on J Hawkens? I'd like to learn more.

I’m brand new to this forum and saw this picture of a J Hawken rifle that I posted elsewhere…caught my eye…
I do have a set of full-size plans drawn from this rifle pictured…I don’t know where they came from but apparently Dixie Gun Works….
