The Hawken brothers would cut the barrel themselves, choose and shape the wood to your specs, hand make and hand fit the iron furniture into the stock, add any German silver niceties to your

liking (or theirs), and even make and grind the powder to burn at the correct rate for your rifle. The end result? When you crossed the Mississippi in the 1820's through the 40's you had something that was practical, reliable, and beautiful; and it would get you back home with some certainty. Sound familiar?
