What's Included

The barrel roll-mark reads "Connecticut Valley Arms, Inc. Black Powder Only .50 Cal. Spain HAWKEN," and the barrel is also marked "Spain." This clearly identifies the rifle as a Spanish-made CVA reproduction intended strictly for black powder use.
The rifle uses a percussion sidelock action with an external hammer and includes a clean-out screw. It is a single-shot muzzleloader with a capacity of 1 round. The 28 in octagonal steel barrel follows the classic Hawken pattern favored by traditional shooters.
Triggering is via double set triggers for precise let-off. The hardwood half-stock incorporates a left-side cheekpiece and an oval medallion/inlay on the right fore-end. Brass furniture includes a crescent buttplate, S-shaped trigger guard, patchbox door, nosecap, and ramrod thimbles.
Sighting is handled by open iron sights: a dovetailed post/blade front and an adjustable rear notch on a stepped base. The length of pull measures 14.0 in, offering a traditional stock fit consistent with Hawken-style rifles.
