What's Included
- CVA St. Louis Hawken .54 caliber percussion muzzleloader rifle
The St. Louis Hawken pattern is faithfully represented here with a percussion sidelock action featuring a patent breech/'snail' bolster and clean-out screw, configured for black powder only. The single-shot design is straightforward and rugged, aligned with the traditional Hawken style favored by many muzzleloading enthusiasts.
The 28" octagonal barrel provides a solid sighting plane and is paired with a 1:48 twist. Open sights include a blade front in a dovetail and an elevation-adjustable open rear sight, giving practical adjustment for load development and field use.
Controls and handling are enhanced by double set triggers, allowing a refined trigger break when desired. The hardwood half-stock incorporates a left-side cheekpiece for alignment and a functional patchbox for small essentials.
Brass furniture is extensive, including the trigger guard with finger spur, buttplate, nose cap, patchbox, and ramrod thimble, delivering the classic Hawken aesthetic. Spanish manufacture is confirmed by the barrel stamp, and this example is noted as a reproduction.
