Track's best early fullstock Hawken Rifle parts were selected by the by noted gunmaker J.E. Brown, who built the nice rifle shown above. Stocked in figured tiger stripe maple, this nice rifle is strikingly handsome. Trimmed with traditional iron furniture. Fitted with a hooked breech and tang. Push the three barrel wedge keys past the underlugs, and the barrel will lift and unhook from the tang, instantly, without tools, for easy cleaning after a day of shooting. The keys are slotted so they may be captured in the stock to prevent loss in the field. The mountain man appreciated ease of maintenance as much as we do, today. The long tang hooked breech plug is fitted with two tang bolts that engage the trigger plate, another correct Hawken feature. The trigger plate is very long, extending through the wrist, accepting two tang bolts from above. The long trigger plate, long tang, and two bolts, form a steel reinforced wrist, making the Hawken the strongest Plains rifle in this critical area. An ideal feature when trapping far in the wilderness. Typically a single lock bolt retains the lock, recessed into the early style tear drop shaped iron sideplate inlay. The rifle shown has a additional sideplate and lock bolt added by the builder. The cheek piece is the earlier square long rifle style, rather than the beaver tail cheek for on later half-stock Hawken rifles. The cheek is angled to recoil away from your face, an ingenious feature found on better rifles. Track's fullstock Hawken stock will accept any 1" straight octagon barrel, to build a moderate weight rifle.
