Well, recently purchased a used "Hawkens Model Hastings 50 cal Rifle". Have to admit that I have never seen one before and can find little information. I know that it's a sacrilege to list it as a Hawken but that is what is stamped on the barrel. Looked it over plenty long and have to say that it is closer to a real Hawken than the Lyman Great Plaines. I have held two genuine Hawkens, Ithaca plaines rifle, Browning Mountain rifle and of course the Lyman. But, never this one. Would one of you gentlemen kindly enlighten me on this fine SideLock !!! ......
