I bought a hawkens from a pawn shop, and it was in working condition, I did a few dry fires and the sear broke, and I looked through a lot of places and I couldn't find the part for my specific gun. So I bought a new sear put it in the gun and now it doesn't work.
I've tinkered a lot and got it to go into half cock, but when it reaches full cock it doesn't stay on, if it does not for long. Just goes off when it wants
 
Hawkens, or Hawkins
A lotta folks made copy Hawken rifles. Is yours an original Hawken Brothers rifle or does it have CVA, Traditions, Thompson Center, or any other names on it? Depending on who actually made or imported it there may be various sources for parts. And pictures would help too. Believe me, we want to help.
 
Here is a picture of the lock, when the sear does catch, it's a soft catch no click

It is a CVA, I do believe and would you like a picture of the lock or full gun?

Deer Creek Products (online) is where I buy my new CVA parts. They bought out the CVA parts when CVA stopped making side locks. I built a junkyard Hawken from CVA parts last year and that's where I went for lock parts and other stuff.

Inside pictures of the lock would be the best. And the trigger group too if ya already have it out. And I'm no expert but, if I can help, I will. But there are plenty of experts here. In the Deer Creek site there is a link to the online store. Should be a diagram of your rifle and a section just for Hawken parts.
