Hawken Rifle kit comparison of the Pecatonica River LR, Hawken Rifle Shop and Investarm Gemmer Kits

[@jeffreygardner2591]

Built a Lyman Great plains rifle back in the 80's, parts went together and into the stock with minimal hand work. Had to finish file the metal parts, but also nothing too bad. The stocks seem to have been cut a lot closer to final fit back then. I've recently also bought one of the recent Investarms Gemmer Hawkens, but a 54 caliber flintlock. The only other Hawkens kit I'm looking forward to getting will be the one that will come out of Jim Kibler's shop sometime in the future. Keep us all updated on your progress of building each of these, as it'll be interesting to hear your observations on the different builds.

Jim Kibler’s kits come in a heavy wooden box that is Post Office proof ! No peanuts either. Just make sure your electric screw driver is fully charged before you start the opening process.

I hope he will do a half stock Hawken kit as it is the 200th anniversary 1825/2025! I am looking at the Southern Mountain Rifle & Woodsrunner Rifle Kits!

@@paulr898 Word is it will be a full stock flint.

I have a Woodsrunner kit coming in a couple of days.

Did you finish the kit? If so, was it easy and do you have photos/videos if it?
