FOR SALE Ithaca Hawken Rifle .50 Cal Unfired

[BriR]

This rifle is in pristine, unfired condition. Serial number on underside of barrel is 325, which matches the number on the stock's barrel channel. I can't find a mark anywhere on it. Bore is excellent, shiny and new looking. Excellent fit and finish on this rifle. This is one of the original Ithaca Hawken rifles, not the later Ithaca Navy Hawken. $1500 shipped.

Very pretty. Do you happen to know the ROT, and the length of the barrel?

 

[BriR]

As I recall, it has a 32" barrel and a twist of approx. 1-66”. LOP is 14", it is 1" across the flats and weighs 10 lbs.

Absolutely beautiful! I remember when these came out, and always admired them, but have never seen one in person.

Gorgeous.

Keep in mind custom Hawkens are in the 3-4K range.

These are the very best next thing and for a fraction of the price. Far better than a Lyman for example!

 

[azmntman]

Very nice and a great manufacturer but I would stop short of calling it (or pricing as) a custom. Just my opinion.

I have received a couple offers that were significantly below what I have this listed for, and while I appreciate the interest, something I’d like to point out is that these sold for $420 back in 1977, which adjusted for inflation in 2019 would be nearly $1800, and that’s without tax. Thanks to Bidenflation it would be significantly higher today.

One just sold on GB, 1-7-2024. It looked like it had a few more miles and patina on it.
Nice looking ML. I baulked because I would've rather had a 54. They never made one.

 

[BriR]

Yes, I had originally thought of keeping it and having Bobby Hoyt drill it out to .54, but thought I really didn’t want to alter an original, not to mention the fact that the cost for his service has gone way up.

 

[reddogge]

This was interesting since I still have mine I built from the kit in 1978.

Funny for a moment I thought this was a "for sale" forum,

There are people in this world that don't have the cognitive horsepower to appreciate the time honored market place tradition of conversation.
