Did all original Hawken rifles have double set triggers ?

[kyron4]

In the Hawken rifle days of the 1830's to the 1850's , did all Hawken brother rifles come with double set triggers ? Were there single trigger models produced or were they more of an option upon request ? Just curious , thanks.

They didnt.

Other than their shotguns, all I have seen have double set triggers.

I don't recall seeing a mountain rifle without a set trigger, but I can think of at least 3 have single (not set) triggers. To add to the sacrilege, two are even mounted in brass. The general speculation on these is that they were made to a price point, for the local market.

Minds eye stuff, i think I saw some of their small bore Ohio style guns with dainty locks and single triggers.
But
May have those confused with their shot guns.

the Hawken bros. Made many other styles than plains rifles.
