What’s Included
- Investarm S.p.A. Hawken (Charles Daly) .50 caliber percussion muzzleloader rifle
Manufactured by Investarm S.p.A. in Italy for Charles Daly, this Hawken is a faithful reproduction with a right-hand percussion lock using a snail/bolster and an external hammer. It is a single-shot muzzleloader chambered in .50 caliber with a 1-round capacity.
The barrel is a 28-inch octagonal steel tube that is blued, rifled, and crowned. Sighting is handled by iron sights: a drift-dovetailed front blade and an adjustable rear sight with an elevator.
A double-set trigger system supports precise shooting, paired with a 14.5-inch length of pull. The rifle uses a hardwood half-stock with a walnut finish for a traditional look and feel.
Classic brass appointments include a large right-side hinged patchbox, a brass buttplate, and a brass nose cap. The lockplate is case-colored and carries factory scroll engraving for added period-correct detail.
Markings include Italian proof and inspection stamps, a boxed Italian date code, "MADE IN ITALY FOR CHARLES DALY," and the Investarm SPA Marcheno Italy barrel address. This is an Italian-made reproduction that retains the visual and functional traits expected of a Hawken-style rifle.
