Several smiths in several different areas made the rifle known as the Pennsylvania or Kentucky long rifle. However, ONE candidate for the first smith was Adam Haymaker, who operated his shop in the Northern end of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and was producing them by about 1750. The development and manufacture of the long rifle seems to match up to the patterns of settlement by German and Moravian settlers, who brought their smithing skills from Europe to the US.

What are the different models of the hawkin rifle?
Well, it is a Hawken rifle (name of the brothers that created it in the 1820s) There were no specific "models" as such- each rifle was hand made. Known as Great Plains rifles, unlike the Pennsylvania or Kentucky rifle used in the East, the Hawken was made for the Western frontier. They were shorter than the Pennsylvania rifle, larger caliber (usually .50 or larger), half stocked, and had a double trigger. Very reliable and very accurate.
