The term "Hawkens" today defines a style of rifle popularized by the Hawkens brother, gunsmiths who operated out of St Louis, Mo., back in the early to mid 1800's. This style, when compared to the earlier "Kentucky" style, is generally thought of as a rather stout, rugged, large caliber, cap lock rifle. The trademark "John Daly" is today owned by K.B.I. Inc.( I believe) who import a wide varity of firearms. Your rifle is, of course, a recent reproduction of that famous Hawkens rifle. The trademark "John Daly" has been in use for approx. 125 years and has a very convoluted histroy. You can think of this rifle as the type that Kit Carson or Jedidiah Smith would have carried in their beaver trapping days.
$5.99 It's not a real Hawken with that serial number.
Yes. I've heard of it.
not sure if this is what you are looking for but a musket is usually smooth bored meaning it has no rifling in the barrel where a muzzle loader can have rifling. A muzzle loader refers to any weapon that is loaded thru the muzzle in a simple definition and it can be either smooth bored like a musket or rifled like a Pennsylvania long rifle or like most modern muzzle loaders are today
A 'muzzle loader' is any firearm (or cannon) which does not have a breech mechanism and which is 'charged' (loaded with powder and shot) from the muzzle end of the barrel.
I have a Ranson in ,45 calibre, the nipple on my rifle is M6x.75. Some Italian rifles have M6x100 threads.
how do you take apart the slide mechanism in a muzzle loader
Have conviction of domestic violence, can i buy a muzzle loader at a gun store legally?
do u know where i can finds parts for a New Frontier muzzle loader at
$100-150 depending on condition. Much of the interest in traditional side lock muzzle loaders has fallen due to the popularity of in line rifles, and prices have dropped. I still love my T/C .50 Hawken.
I found a used Richland Arms 45 cal muzzle loader today. The gun shop had it for sale at $225. I almost bought it but I know nothing about the Mfgr. On the barrel was stamped "Made in Italy" and Blissfield Michigan. Hope this helps.
$150+
yes cause you use black powder for a muzzle loader but for a real gun its all in the bullet and the hammer...
