Hawken Style Percussion Muzzleloading Rifle .45 Caliber with 26 Inch Barrel
Description
This .45 caliber Hawken style percussion muzzleloading rifle features a heavy 26 inch octagonal barrel with a blued finish. The barrel is equipped with a fixed blade front sight and a buckhorn style rear sight. The furniture is constructed of polished brass, including the crescent buttplate, trigger guard, decorative side plate, and a classic patch box on the right side of the buttstock. The rifle is stocked in a stained hardwood that shows a smooth finish throughout. The lock plate exhibits a color case hardened finish and houses a standard percussion hammer. A wooden ramrod is held by brass pipes beneath the barrel. Key markings include the manufacturer logo of “PI” inside a circle, “CAL .45”, and the serial number “D 5650” stamped on the upper left flat of the barrel. Note – As an antique or black powder firearm, this item does not require a background check.
Condition report:
The blued finish on the octagonal barrel remains very strong with minimal wear or thinning. The color case hardening on the lock plate is vibrant. The brass furniture shows a light, natural patina but remains bright overall. The hardwood stock is in very good condition with only minor handling marks and no visible cracks or repairs. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. The percussion action appears to function correctly, though it has not been function-tested with live ammunition.
