Who makes the Hawkins black power rifle?

Answer 1

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.
