Looky here. Great Plains Rifle Signature Series by Pedersoli. Lowest price I could find was $902 at Midsouth Shooters. 5 days from order it was in my hands. A production rifle, yes, but anything Pedersoli puts out is well made and close to original. A few things on this one is not authentic but certainly built well. Wood to metal is excellent. The lock's geometry seems perfect. The rear sight is adjustable, a feature I don't like. The front is a silver blade, not unlike the real Hawken we all love. The butt curve is less than the Lyman GPR, not nearly as sharp. The stock is walnut and prettier than my phone camera can capture. Double set trigger is tough to set and the final pull is really, really light. I might have to adjust both, but maybe not. Metal is dark bluing that might be better brown. Barrel is one inch across the flats. 50 cal. The rifle is heavier than any production muzzle loader I've ever held. At least that is close to the heft of an original. Can't wait to shoot it. Thanks to contributors here I got black powder, 3F and 4F, within an hour's drive. Swiss. I hope the photo of this yet to be fired rifle turns out.
Oh, a question: how far away from the history of Hawken rifles would I be if I put a peep sight on the tang?---that Lyman 57 that all GPRs are already drilled and tapped for.
