Building a Hawken Rifle with Hershel House (DVD)

Hershel House demonstrates how to build an authentic replica of this famous half-stocked percussion St. Louis rifle.

Construction begins with a stock blank and runs through to a fine finished rifle.

Many aspects of this rifle are also applicable to flintlocks such as a hook breech or using wedges to attach the barrel to the stock.

Includes close-up details of five original Hawken rifles.
