Kibler Hawken?

My wife just said when I die all my guns are going in the dumpster.

Where you live???

Has he always been this bad or is it getting worse…?

Reaction Score and Rating tells the tale. You have been here five years and yours is pathetic.

He will sell all he can make. I am not some great builder guy but i already have friends wanting me to build one for them.

Once you are dead monetary value is pointless

Oh boy….more Hawken yakking’…I’ve turned over every possible stone in this Hawken Mythology that is available to “we the public” since the middle 1970s…went museum hopping and a local antique dealer had two for sale that I’d go visit, handle and photograph regularly just to connect with the makers.
I’ve been a diligent student …and disciple.

What I know with certainty is this:
Every Hawken rifle is so different from every other Hawken rifle…up until Jacob died…it’s at that time they take on somewhat “standard” features.

So discussing architectures, calibres, twists, hardware, converted locks, cheek rests, breeches, tangs, sights etc…to decide what is authentic Hawken…has been done ad nauseam…

There is a Hawken out there with your personal Hawken preferences except one…a known flintlock…several that appeared to have been flinters…reason says they existed…but

What ever Kibler comes up with it’ll likely be “authentic” but won’t please everybody.

Example: choose your favorite Hawken cheekrest.View attachment 376416View attachment 376417

You've done your homework! If people don't or won't like Mr. Kibler's kits, they have many sources commercially; the Hawken Shop, and many other kits and parts to make their own. I have all the Hawken-types I'll ever need, but if Kibler offered one, I'd buy it with no hesitation.

I don't check this sub-forum, so I've missed everything up until now. We actually just filmed a video on our upcoming Hawken kit and it should be out sometime this month. It will likely answer most of the questions raised. Thanks again for all the interest and support!
