I have seen two Hawken rifles built by George Nelson on Track Of The Wolf web site. They were custom built. One Hawken had a Colerain 36 inch barrel in 54 cal. The other Hawken had a Douglas barrel 36 inch also in 54 cal. Both with highly figured Maple stocks. Fit and finish was tight. All iron browned furniture and barrels. Both Hawken barrels were slow twist for PRB. One has already been sold. The other Hawken is still available. They were both new and unfired. The triggers and locks were high quality makers. He used the best of everything to build these muzzleloaders. If only I had the money! They are between 2500 to 3000 each, but well worth the asking price. I have tried to find out more about George Nelson but cant find anything on him. I would love to see some more of his work. Has anyone heard of him or his custom built Hawken rifles?
