What’s Included
- CVA Hawken .50 caliber percussion sidelock rifle
This rifle follows the traditional Hawken pattern with a single-shot, .50 caliber muzzleloading configuration and a percussion sidelock action. The 28-inch octagonal steel barrel provides a classic profile and period-correct handling. Markings include a Spain barrel mark and a barrel stamp reading Connecticut Valley Arms, Inc. Black Powder Only .50 Cal.
The lock features a drum-and-nipple bolster with a clean-out screw for straightforward maintenance. An external single-action hammer works with double set triggers to deliver a crisp release. The lockplate shows a color case-hardened finish with an engraved hammer profile on the lock side, adding tasteful decorative detail.
The hardwood half-stock has a reddish stain and is complemented by brass furniture, including a brass nosecap, brass ramrod pipes, a brass trigger guard, and an oval brass inlay. A wedge-key secures the barrel to the stock, and an under-barrel rib with twin pipes supports the ramrod channel. Length of pull measures 14 inches.
Sighting is handled by traditional iron sights: a dovetailed brass front blade and an open rear sight with a stepped elevator. This Spanish-made CVA reproduction brings together authentic styling and practical features for the muzzleloading enthusiast.
