What A Hawken Is Supposed To Look Like
Daniel Coats:
I'm hoping for a respectful exchange including pictures of either a single detail or an entire rifle. I built several during the Hawken craze of the 1980s and 1990s from planks and even forged some of the hardware. Recently there's been a strong reaction to the upcoming Kibler kit so here's your chance to show what you're talking about. Original or Contemporary you've got the floor.

Only one I ever got to handle. Drawings made in 1969 show a 34 in barrel, 1 1/16, 50 cal, 1/48 twist, coned about 4 in from muzzle. Checkering at wrist, straight hook breech, English style breechplug not a snail, has a silver star inletted possibly to disguise a plug. Tail of trigger plate goes to a point, tang is stepped down, no half cock notch. Marked J&S Hawken. Belongs to a friend. i'll see if I can find my pics
