Missouri River Hawken Maple Rifle Percussion .50 cal
Hawken Rifle — Maple Stock
The Hawken Rifle is an enduring symbol of the American frontier — the rifle that bridged the gap between the long, small-caliber Pennsylvania guns and the heavier, more powerful Plains rifles. As percussion ignition replaced the flintlock and larger calibers became the norm, the Hawken earned a reputation for rugged reliability and surprising accuracy. It quickly became the inseparable companion of mountain men, trappers, and early explorers.
This Pedersoli reproduction is offered with a select maple stock and captures the rugged, purposeful character of the originals. The rifle features an octagonal barrel with a rust-brown finish, a case-hardened lock, and a double set trigger for refined shooting control — making it equally at home in the hands of reenactors, hunters, and black-powder marksmen.
