The Hawken is a symbol of the period that saw the passage from the long and heavy small caliber Pennsylvania rifles to more practical and powerful Plains rifles, and the abandoning of flintlocks for the far more modern percussion system. The strong barrel and the larger caliber, enabled hits on any target with surprising accuracy. This rifle soon became the inseparable friend of the most famous explorers of the American continent.
The Maple version of the Rocky Mountain Hawken comes equipped with a plum blued octagonal barrel, case hardened fittings, and a deluxe curly maple stock with a gloss finish.
