Building a Hawken Rifle DVD

Product Details

Expert gun builder Hershel House shows how to build an authentic and historically correct copy of this famous St Louis percussion plains rifle. Construction begins with a stock blank and ends with the completed rifle. Hershel fabricates all the small parts to include forging the trigger guard and butt plate. Gun builders should be advised that many aspects covered in this DVD also pertain to flintlocks, such as the hooked breech and using wedges to attach the barrel. Three original Hawken Rifles are also shown in the video. Approximately 2-1/2 hours long!
