Well here it is my latest acquisition and the last of its kind I will have to buy (lol yeah right these guns are like crack!) saw it pop up and contacted the owner and struck a deal! I’m very happy to own it and wanted to share it! Looks a lot like the kit Carson gun but the barrel is a bit longer. It’s a .54 1 1/8-1”x34” barrel made by Lynn Weimer lock and triggers are Bob roller 87. Gun was built by Rod England. I love these hawken guns and can’t wait to take it to the hawken classic this year!! Has some other nice touches as well, poured nose cap and captured wedge pins to boot.

Very nice, looks like what I think an original Hawkin would look like?

Thank you! Yes it’s a very good representation I think, while not perfect it is very close. The butt plate is not exactly perfect but very good, the rifle muzzle is 90 degrees up in the air when the bothe points of the butt plate are on the ground. It appears to me to be very close to the Kit Carson gun with 3 extra inches on the muzzle. Thank you for the kind words!
 
I think that the only way that it might have been better is if the barrel were rust blued and the other parts were case hardened! It also had a shooting bag that came with it and is made from saddle leather. It is a double pouch with a beaver tail style flap that goes perfectly with the gun I’ll post some photos of it as well.

If you're dissatisfied, I'll be willing to take it off your hands
