The gun I have a question about would be a Hawken style or plains rifle. A half stock percussion gun. My internet search only shows me new guns by Traditions or Pedersoli. I haven’t found anybody else who currently makes one. I am aware of used guns like TC, Lymans and Investarms but is anyone building new ones?

Thanks
 
I think Investarms has the Gemmer Hawken that is Factory made. I guess its a toss up on those 3 with Traditions n Pedersorry thrown in. You may get a decent one from the 3 if you don't go the kit route. All bets are off if going kit. I would at that point visit pawn shops of events to find a decent used one.
 
Yes, that trade gun would be excellent and I have looked at it online. I may go that route. Was just wondering if there were any builders of half stock percussion/trade rifle/plains rifle/Hawken style rifles that I had overlooked. I found a couple guys who used to make them but are no longer doing so.

Thanks


You did see it?
Your first post mentioned only finding new Traditions and Pedersolis and used TC and Lymans. And that one is a new Lymans.

Right. At first glance I thought it was used. Went back and read more closely and realized it’s new.

Thanks!
 
I built the Investarms Gemmer Hawken kit. Mine is left handed. It’s my first kit and I guess I didn’t butcher it up too bad. You can buy it built in 50 or 54 cal. And left or right hand, percussion and flint.

Bet that one won’t last long. Heck of a deal.

There appears to be a bunch of them for sale that just cropped up about a month ago. TOTW has the best price I've seen. I bought one :)
$500 today is better than $200 ten years ago with the way prices have jumped. IMO.
