These are pics from when I had my Hawken built. I didn't build it, a feller from up in Indiana built it. He started it with a chunk of curly maple. All the iron furniture is hand made including the lock plate but it has Chambers internals. The nose cap is Ted Cash. The double set triggers came off of an antique sporting rifle and man they are nice. The barrel was a Douglas NOS for a CVA Mountain rifle. He cut the breech with the drum off and installed a proper slanted snail breech bringing the length down to 31 inches. A little short for a Hawken but man does it shoot. It has a full buckhorn rear sight and a Hawken blade up front. It was built on blueprints from an original Hawken. He's not a professional builder but I think he did a fine job.
