I have also seen it as Wolfgang Haga.Hate to rain on your parade, or piddle on your Froot Loops but it was Hachen when granddaddy Wolfgang Hachen came to ‘merika and spawned a bunch of lousy spellers.

I'm not sure if it ever had any mind at all. I think Kibler was into his cups when he off handedly mentioned the H word.The thread has a mind of its own now.
The Sam Hawken shop did make a percussion “squirrel rifle” for the local St. Louis trade. It was in the .36 to .40 caliber range, ~34” slim straight barrel, walnut (usually) half stock, brass furniture and a poured pewter nose cap. There is one on display at the JM Davis museum in Claremore, OK and there were at least two originals on display at the Hawken Classic. I don’t recall if these were produced by Sam Hawken, or when Gemmer owned the shop." I wish he would do a lighter half-stock percussion instead, like maybe a slimmer Vincent or even some sort of slim Lehman. I picked up an original Vincent that was nose heavy, but still light and handy enough, and MUCH lighter than some of those mortar-barreled Hawkens"
Yes, I agree, but then would it be a "Hawken" and how much would the Hawken fans complain.
And fiber optic sights???? Lol MarkWhere are these hawken rifles listed?
I looked on search but can not find anything.
How much are we looking at? Will they be available with a synthetic stock?
He was working on a English Wilson fowling gun as depicted on pp. 53-56 of the book Of Sorts for Provincials American Weapons of the French and Indian War by Jim Mullins. Perhaps the water serpent/ dragon side plate has added to the confusion over the nature of the next Kiblers release.He has never said he's going to make a trade gun.
What's with your avatar? A young kid smoking and a rooster. Does it have a meaning?I'm not sure if it ever had any mind at all. I think Kibler was into his cups when he off handedly mentioned the H word.
I was a bonified rooster man for a large part of my life. What's up with yours? Are you really Jim Bridger?What's with your avatar? A young kid smoking and a rooster. Does it have a meaning?
III WANT ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!Well, I was surprised to read it, but it’s what a lot of folks have been asking for. Jim posted on the ALR forum that he’s looking to buy or borrow an original Hawken for measurements and study in preparation for the new kit. And, he says it will be a half stock percussion. No time line was mentioned.

Indeed. The new percussion cap ignition system has become increasingly popular and I fully expect Kibler & Co. will satisfy the demand for the surety of fire it affords. As well, the Maynard system of tape priming holds promise and should be an option for the company's newly announced rifle.The muzzleloading world is ready!
I think he contemplated it a few years ago.He has never said he's going to make a trade gun.
