Missouri River Hawken Walnut Rifle Percussion .50 cal
Hawken Rifle
The Hawken Rifle stands as one of the most iconic firearms of the American frontier, symbolizing the transition from the long, small-caliber Pennsylvania rifles to the more powerful and practical Plains rifles of the 19th century. This era marked the shift from the traditional flintlock mechanism to the more reliable percussion system, revolutionizing firearm performance and dependability in the field.
With its sturdy barrel and larger caliber, the Hawken quickly gained a reputation for delivering accurate, hard-hitting performance, making it the trusted companion of mountain men, pioneers, and early explorers across the American continent.
This Pedersoli reproduction captures the rugged spirit and craftsmanship of the original. It features your choice of a walnut or maple stock, a rust-brown octagonal barrel, and a case-hardened color lock for authentic period appeal. The double set trigger allows for precise shooting, making this rifle not only a piece of history but also a highly capable firearm for hunting and target shooting.
