Unboxing and Firing 1990's Cabela Black Powder Hawken Muzzleloader in .54 caliber

[@Mark-xs4uv]

My dad recently died unexpectedly and he had one new from the 90s. Just put it together, looking forward to shooting it. He also had a Cabela's buffalo and army revolver. Going to the range tomorrow!

..I bought a Thompson Center Hawken in 50 cal in 1974 shortly after I returned home from better than two years in Gernany with the army..great gun...lost it to pawn in 1979 when I moved to Florida and needed quick cash ..

Awesome rifle. I bought the 50 caliber Hawken rifle from Cabela's a few years back, she's shoots great and is a beautiful rifle. You have a beautiful rifle, I really like the .54 caliber and want a .54 next. Thank you for sharing.

I have 2 of that exact rifle. A couple of things to consider are to put a small dot of white out on the tip of the front sight so you can see it better in low light. Second, get yourself a fiberglass ram rod to use at the range, instead of using the wooden one. The wooden one can break. Better to just take that rod hunting. It's a great rifle, mine are accurate out to 100 yds..

I bought the 45 cal. around 25 years ago! Little did I know that a 45 rifle uses a 44 cal ball and my 44 revolver uses a 45 cal ball…

Awesome

That screw in the patch box is a ball remover

[@oddrocket2743]

Thank you! That is good to know.

[@noapologizes2018]

This setup came with a lot of accessories. I don't think you get half that much good stuff now-a-days.

[@jimihendrix4376]

It's called greed, No your not going to get all that anymore!

[@johnmullholand2044]

Did it come with all that from the factory, or was it acquired by the previous owner, who just wanted to get rid of it all?

[@oddrocket2743]

@@johnmullholand2044 I am the first owner because I bought that kit when I was in college in the 1990's. That is exactly the way it came.

[@johnmullholand2044]

​@@oddrocket2743 My bad, I thought you had said you bought it second hand.

[@jamesalsup9135]

Try using the set trigger.

How to purchase

[@oddrocket2743]

You cannot get this particular model anymore from Cabelas but they have similar models. You can get it through mail order in most states or at the Bass Pro Shops www.cabelas.com/shop/en/pedersoli-traditional-hawken-percussion-rifle The closest ones available today are the Muzzle Loaders Investarms Hawkens like this one and I thoroughly recommend it because it is a little nicer made than mine is muzzle-loaders.com/collections/all/products/investarm-bridger-hawken-rifle-54-cal-percussion-ia2114 Have fun and shoot safely!

Bom dia você vende essa espingarda

How to get this gun illegal

[@oddrocket2743]

Muzzle loaders are perfectly legal for anyone who is not a felon to own.

[@normanbraslow7902]

For a fast, cheap introduction, they are ok. I assure you, you will get a far better one, and there are several very good companies.

[@oddrocket2743]

There is probably a blunderbuss kit in my future which will probably be a video. Right now, I am working on a single shot muzzleloader pistol and will probably upload the video in 2 weeks.

[@gobindarai7677]

Hello sir

[@tuananhluuvu4775]

1890 OR 1990

[@mellowmike4306]

it's very obviously a 1990 model

[@oddrocket2743]

1998 or 1999 when I bought it from the Cabelas Catalog

[@stevenbaker9327]

Get rid of that crap powder!

[@johnmullholand2044]

Nothing wrong with Pyrodex, especially if it's all you can get.
