Some guns are built to very closely imitate a certain model, like a Hawken, or a Ethan Allen etc period correct for the design. Some are made to resemble a style of gun, like the Lyman GPR does, and some are just nice looking guns with a "Hawken" in the name. I use "Hawken" only as an example, there are many kinds, but I always wanted to know the terms for the different styles of these modern built guns. "They are not all replicas" as I once heard an old timer describe. At that time I didn't care much about it but I am much further along in the sport now and wish I could go back in time and talk with him. What can you tell me about it?
