Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Hawken rifle build

My Hawken build is still in the works but it's starting to shape up.

Inspired by the Kit Carson Hawken. 54 caliber Rice barrel, 31 & 5/8 inch long, tapered from one inch at the breach to 7/8 inch at the muzzle. Weighs in at 8 pounds as it is now. All metal will be rust blue, wood still has some more finish ahead. Should be a nicely balanced offhand hunting rifle.
