Description:
SALE PENDING! This is one of approximately 3,000 quality Hawken reproductions produced by Uberti for Western Arms Corp in the late 1970's-early 1980's. This one is serial number 254 and would have been made around 1978. The fit and finish of this rifle is impressive for a reproduction with lots of attention placed in details and craftsmanship making it one of the best production Hawken Rifle reproductions. There are some good articles online covering the development and history of these Western Arms Hawkens and it appears Uberti built these to the owner of Western, Mr. Allen's specifications. Western would change its name in the early 1980's to Allen Firearms due to a lawsuit by Winchester, and eventually merged with what is currently Cimarron Arms. Allen's business relationship with Uberti produced some of their best work in my opinion as Western Arms was highly praised by black powder enthusiasts...there just weren't enough of them. This one is in .54 caliber with a .32 1/2" octagonal barrel with fixed front and rear sights. Barrel is secured by double keys with a hook breech for easy removal. Key escutcheons and forend cap are made of high quality German silver. The lock has most of its original case colors while the barrel and furniture have faded and worn over the past forty years to 75-80% original browned finish. The walnut stock is in Fine condition with a few marks and nicks but still shows most of its original light orange red oiled finish. It has a nice broken-in look to it which would take years to get to this appearance with a new rifle. Double set triggers work as well. Check out what the higher quality Hawken Rifle Reproduction Rifles sell for today and then revisit this one. Nice replica of iconic frontier rifle!
