LATE ENGLISH FLINT LOCK
Since the onset of the Hawken popularity, there has been
much controversy as to the existence of a "Hawken" flint
lock rifle. One full stock Hawken rifle exists in the
archives of the Smithsonian Institutc. It was authenticated
by Col. Vaughn Goodwin, Art Ressel, John D. Baird, and J.W,
"Doc" Carlson as being converted from flint to percussion
ignition. L & R acquired and duplicated an original
advanced waterproof English flint lock very similar in all
aspects to the lock in the Smithsonian rifle.
