The Traditions® St. Louis Hawken™ kit is made for the serious hunter. The St. Louis Rifle maintains the classic styling and handling of the time-honored Hawken, while offering great performance and affordability. The percussion model boasts a hooked breech for easy barrel removal, and click-adjustable rear hunting sight. The Hawken features a double-set trigger in an oversized glove-fitting, trigger-guard with finger rest. The rifle also comes complete with classic brass embellishments and inlaid solid brass patch box. The Traditions™ St. Louis Hawken is .50 caliber percussion rifle sporting a 28" uncured octagonal barrel. The rifle has an overall length of 44.5" and weighs 7 7/8 lbs. To provide the best kit experience, the barrel will need to be finished with a blueing or browning treatment. The stock will also be unfinished and some light woodworking may be needed to ensure a proper fit.
