Who makes a nice Hawken kit?

[Sniperdoc]

7-8 lbs, and you couldn't keep up with the orders

A Hawken rifle of 7 - 8 pounds would be one of the "Squirrel" rifles of 40 or 45 caliber, not a Plains rifle as many would expect.

I have seen a Gemmer rifle of 45 caliber which has the slimmed down architecture of a Plains rifle that would do very nicely.

As stated above, the Hawken is a very complex rifle that looks oh, so simple.

The Lyman GPR is what 10lbs? But, woo doggie, I was surgical with that thing off hand. Lord have mercy, I don't know why I let it get away. So what's another pound or so? Kibler Hawken you say? I'm in, where's that waiting list. I MUCH prefer easily removing the barrel for cleaning. So I'm a huge fan wedges and hooked breech. And I too would much rather buy from US! Anyone ever ask how much of his kits are U.S. supplied / produced? I'm sure it's 100%, but curious nonetheless.

Hawken Shop or Track of the Wolf, both are good. I bought mine from ToW. A winter project. I use my version to introduce ladies to the wonder world of black powder firearms.

Well, having more than a few Hawken replicas myself, I'm looking forward to seeing what the folks at Kibler come up with.

Either of those would be better then Traditions!

Pretty much anything would be better than Traditions.

Kibler is in the process of bringing out a Hawken. Start saving up!

Yes, that's worth waiting for.

I have a Lyman GPR in 54, that is unfired, I had it for sale on here but no takers. yesterday I stripped it to the bone. I am going to reshape the stock to look like a real Hawkin. I stripped all the black/paint or whatever that was on the steal. I draw filed the barrel and also took off the ugly radicicols warning writing and such. I grey blued the parts today and will do the barrel tomorrow. I am basically doing a copy of what Bob Woodfill did in his video to the same gun a few months ago. I will start on the wood tomorrow. when I am done, I will sell it on this forum. so, stay tuned,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
