Jim just posted (within this hour 6:20 eastern time) a sneak peek at the Hawken, with promises of more to come

I put dibs on a .54 with walnut stock

I was disappointed that Jims FB posting picture looked almost generic/ computer generated picture. I cant even see the barrel tenons. Rear sight positioning doesnt look right...

Ya me too, oh well, patience I guess

Well, .I'd like to see this someplace other than Facebook, which I don't use. Any facebook links try to force me to join, which isn't happening.

The picture is of a percussion locked rifle. Anyone hear if there will be a flint version available?

Wait for the video and it will make more sense. This is just a screenshot of the 3d computer model. The stock is still square in this view as well. All the other parts are fully designed, though and we go into quite a bit of detail about each in the video.

So, even though this came from a computer, it's not just some mock-up or AI stuff. It's the actual design of the rifle we will be producing. I'm sure there will be some tweaks, but this is largely what it will be.

Jim has from the start, and again in his new released info stated it will be percussion, as most all known Hawkens were. Right handed.
