I really thought there were people out there looking and waiting on a good Hawken gun. ?

I've had trouble selling Left-Handed guns of varying price and quality. I still pick them up, though. That's a nice one.

Very-Very Nice rifle ! I understand that only around 10% of the population is Left Handed.
I raised a Left-Handed shooter and it seems you can never find a LH gun when you are looking. Go figure.

Thanks,

Just a matter of giving it some time. Especially as a LH. I doubt if Long made very many LH locks. He also made some excellent barrels but not on a large scale. Looks like a high quality bit of work. Possibly the gun was made by Ron Long.

I have a lefty shooter in my life and I can’t get her excited about BP no matter how hard I try, . And her birthday is in two days, I wish I could get her something like this. Just gorgeous…

It’s especially hard because so many fine LH BP guns end up with exceptional price tags as the market is so narrow they seem to be hard to move in a timely fashion. Such a cruel cosmic joke. Makes me wish I was wrong handed .

Rick, is the 13-1/4" length to the front or rear trigger? Is all the metal Blued? Twist rate?

Thanks,
Tim

 

[rick1964]

13 1/4 to front firing trigger. All Metal is more a deep dark browned than blue. RD ball twist in Douglas. Was I believe 1/66. Im away from home for a few days. I can check the twist when back. As I listed there are no marking on the barrel. Other than 50 on top flat

If this only had another inch more LOP I'd be financing it right now but as a lefty I have to check out every one that gets posted for sale just in case. I'm going to forward this to a friend as one of his boys is a lefty and does like smoke role shooting. I sometimes wonder how I got my LH, 15 inch LOP Hawken though. My good friend saw it, bought it and then sold it to me. It pays to have good friends.

Mine is a .52/.53 caliber though.

 

[rick1964]

Thanks William. I open to all the help I can get.

If I hadn’t just bought 2 kibler Fowler kits and a colt 1851 I’d be all over that rifle. I value my marriage too much to but another gun right now lol.

There are people looking for a good Hawkin, but 1300 is way out of line for most people.
