Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Ok, let’s see your custom "Hawken"

Not really custom, but my traditions st louis hawken that i made up from a kit. Brass work was done with powder horn nails to add some grip for cold/wet conditions. Its actually functions unlike the large brass tacks we often see on guns. Hurts like hell with conicals though!

The barrel, tang and trigger are all completely bedded for a solid fit. I cut a dovetail for the rear sight as the original was a screw on set up which sucked. Most importantly, i placed that rear sight in a position where i could see it perfectly.
