Any bullet that has a diameter of one half inch is a .50 caliber bullet. There are different .50 caliber bullets- my Hawken muzzle loading rifle shoots a .50 caliber lead bullet, but different from the .50 Browning Machine Gun (that is also used in the .50 Barret sniper rifle)


What are the different models of the hawkin rifle?

Well, it is a Hawken rifle (name of the brothers that created it in the 1820s) There were no specific "models" as such- each rifle was hand made. Known as Great Plains rifles, unlike the Pennsylvania or Kentucky rifle used in the East, the Hawken was made for the Western frontier. They were shorter than the Pennsylvania rifle, larger caliber (usually .50 or larger), half stocked, and had a double trigger. Very reliable and very accurate.

Who makes the Hawkins black power rifle?

The name of the rifle is Hawken, after the original makers, Samuel & Jacob Hawken of St. Louis MO. The name became used by other companies making a rifle that was large bore (.50 or larger) with a half stock, and set triggers. Many companies make, or have made, a Hawken style rifle. However, the "in line" muzzle loader rifles have reduced interest in traditional side lock rifles. You may want to check on line gun auctions, such as auctionarms.com, or gunbroker.com for examples. MY Hawken is a Thompson/Center "Renegade" .50 cal- and it is a great shooting rifle.
