    Real Hawken or not?

    Why not a Kukri

    Last year I bought my brother a Kukri as a thank you gift for helping me on a project. The Company that I ordered it from was in Nepal and the sent me a description of how they were made and their history. It was quite interesting. It takes 4 men 2 days to make one Kukri and they are all paid a...

    Real Hawken or not?

    I tried to sell the Conestoga wagon but like this rifle people wanted to offer me a hundred bucks for it so I donated it to a Museum there in New Mexico. When I went to visit it, someone had stolen it before it was even displayed. Dave

    Real Hawken or not?

    I met a guy that bought an old house and the living room was sinking. After cutting a larger access into the crawl space to pour a concrete pad to set posts and jack it up he climbed inside this larger hole. Inside the tiny crawlspace he found a completely intact and clothed human skeleton with...

    Real Hawken or not?

    From looking closely at the barrel I do not believe it was ever cut down or modified. I do not know what the initials meant but when I found the rifle it had a very old paper band around it that said Hays Kansas written on it. The small powder horn also has a single letter carved into it.

    Real Hawken or not?

    The barrel seems to be straight not tapered. I measured it today and it had a slight deflection in the middle where it seemed a fraction smaller but both ends appear identical

    Real Hawken or not?

    Thanks and always interesting to hear new opinions. I've been careful with the old girl for 30 years and pretty sure I won't scratch her with a standard tape measure. I'm hoping the community can learn more from this rifle. D.

    Real Hawken or not?

    I believe it's 100% real but am having it verified. I honestly won't even oil it and I live on the road so unfortunately don't have a wall to hang it on.

    Real Hawken or not?

    I've been told that. I have seen and found things in the desert that would blow people's minds but have left and returned them out of respect.
