SOLD 50 cal Custom Hawken “Kit Carson Style”

[Hawken50!]

I’m putting up my custom Kit Carson style 50cal Hawken rifle. Walnut stock, 35inch browned 1inch wide (flat across to flat) Douglas barrel, good rifling, stock has a few handling marks and imperfections from normal use. No wood cracks. Browning shows some wear but in my opinion shows character. Not sure of the lock maker or who put this rifle together. Gun functions perfectly at half and full ****. Asking $925……thanks……Tom 918-869-0577

How much does the rifle weigh?

 

[Hawken50!]

Not exactly sure but I’m guessing around 9lbs.

Guessing does not answer a question , I'm sure more than a few folks are wondering with your barrel description/Ed

 

[Hawken50!]

I don’t have a scale to weigh it on. But I’ve had enough experience with the weight of shotguns to have a pretty good idea what this rifle weighs. If you’ve had experience with muzzleloading guns don’t you think you can make a pretty good educated guess about a guns weight?

 

[Dryball]

For comparison.....if it will settle the issue. I have a Hawken with 1" X 35" barrel and it weighs 10lbs 3oz. Mine is a 54 caliber so a 50 would certainly weigh more. Probably around 11 lbs.

$750 a shipped price?

 

[Hawken50!]

Where are you located? If you’re not too far away from Oklahoma I’ll include free shipping. If you’re far east or west, let’s say east past Tennessee or so I probably better add around $15 on to the shipping. That goes the same for the west past the Rockies. Does that sound reasonable? Shipping has gotten rediculous and I’ve burned myself being too conservative.

 

[Hawken50!]

Dry all….I appreciate your input. I never have heard of the gun weight of a Hawken type gun being an issue unless it was one of the super heavy bench-shooting target rifles. I would say this would be of a weight that one would expect from this type of rifle. They are stout rifles unlike a Fowler smooth bore type gun.

Dryball….darn spell check

That's a fine looking rifle and if I had the funds I would certainly take it off your hands!

What is the difference between a "Kit Carson style" and a regular style hawken?

 

[DuncNZ]

Kit Carson style is copied from Kit Carson's last S Hawken rifle which is/was in the Masonic Lodge in Santa Fe . It is a late model rifle

 

[Hawken50!]

If you’ll look at the original that Kit Carson had which you can probably find pictures of, mine apparently was modeled after it. Same kind of furniture. I just called it a Kit Carson model because it looked like it.

Respectfully, how about some sharper photos of the lock inletting and buttplate fit on the left side. Thanks.

 

[Hawken50!]

I’ll get those this evening. Got to make a quick trip out of town this afternoon first…..Thanks.

 

[GriscomRun]

might be a help if you rotated the photos before uploading here. who wants to twist their necks to figure out an upside down pic.
