Today we're officially starting our Investarms Gemmer Hawken Kit building series. This series will cover the construction of this muzzleloader kit, the tools needed, and several different processes of wood finishing and metal finishing.
In this video, we're unboxing the kit to get a detailed look at each of the parts before we move onto assembly. I talk about each of the Hawken parts, their purpose and place on the muzzleloader, some of my top tips for muzzleloader kit building, and my recommendations on what to research before starting. In the next part of this series, we will cover some of the tools needed for this project and then we will move onto fitting the parts! If you have any questions about this kit or the techniques I'm using, leave them in the comments below. I will address as many comments as I can in videos associated with this series to give you as much detail as I can about the answer.
I know these kits are 100% accurate, and to my understanding, a flintlock Hawken, let alone a flintlock half stock Hawken hasn't been found, but the kit is still a fun way to get back in the shop and away from the screens and news.
