What’s Included
- Thompson/Center Hawken .50 cal percussion muzzleloading rifle
The 28-inch blued octagonal barrel is paired with a percussion cap lock using a patent breech with an integral snail bolster and an external hammer. A hooked breech allows the barrel to be removed without tools, and the barrel is secured in the stock by a single transverse wedge key. The under-rib with two brass pipes supports traditional plains-rifle styling.
Sighting is straightforward and practical with a dovetailed blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight with elevator. The setup complements the rifle’s single-shot muzzleloader configuration and .50 caliber bore.
The double-set, adjustable triggers provide a crisp release that suits careful offhand or bench shooting. A 15.0-inch length of pull offers ample room while maintaining traditional handling characteristics.
The hardwood half-stock includes a cheekpiece and brass furniture throughout: a crescent buttplate, round-lid patchbox, trigger guard with spur, forend nosecap, and oval wedge escutcheons. The lock and hammer carry a case-colored finish with factory light scroll engraving for a period-correct look. Made in the USA, this reproduction delivers the Hawken style with durable T/C construction.
