Hello all. I have a full set of parts and a plain hard maple stock blank for sale. I have (or had) a prospective customer that wanted a Hawken. Very authentic, simple and common, as was made by Sam Hawken in the hey-day of the production of the Hawken shop in St Lewis. I am guessing he has had something come up and needs the money, or perhaps maybe just got tired of waiting for me to build the rifle. I stopped taking on any more custom work almost 4 years ago now and I am catching up, but all I can do is all I can do. I work 60-65 hour weeks, 6 days a week, and there simply in no more time for me to go any faster, not to mention the fact that work rushed is usually done to a lower quality standard. I am not sure why he wants to give up on the rifle now but it's his ball game and he is 100% in his right to want to stop the project before I start it. He did send me $656 for parts and so if anyone wants these parts please contact me. I'll have you write a money Order directly to him and at that point I can send the parts to the new owner, Or if you'd like I can simply place the new name on the existing order. I expected to build the rifle in the coming year barring any more pressing matters that pull me away from the work-shop (as I have had to deal with several times in the past 2 years) This is the list of parts and the costs of them when he ordered and this is what you would be buying. Lock......Right hand Percussion. Davis................................................. $110 Stock (plain hard maple).......................................................................... $65 Barrel...............1" 54 cal ......................................$165 Breach ...................................................$65 Triggers ..................Davis ................................$62 T Guard ..................................................$20 Butt Plate (Made correctly by me. Made like originals, and not with the extended toe you so often see on the casting sold today) $30 Toe plate ....................................................$6 Side Plate ...................................................$5 Escutcheons (4)...........................................$ 12 Under rib......................................................$25 Nose cap........................................................$14 Under lugs.........................(2)......................$6 Keys.......(2).....................................................$6 Rod pipes.7/16" .......................................................$22 Front sight ..............Silver in copper base.........................................$5 Rear Sight.........Long bar, elevation adjustable ................................................$38 So that's $656 for parts as listed. If someone wanted to have an authentic Hawken rifle made but wanted to change a few details I would be open to discussion. I build from blanks. so most stock dimensions can be accommodated from the piece of wood in this set. Or of course, I can ship the parts to you. e-mail me at szihn@wyoming if you are interested. |
