IMO the Hawken is the best looking muzzleloader ever made.  I love late caplock guns.

That is a beautiful rifle. I like the darker stocks. I wonder what process was used to get it to look like that.

According to Roy Stroh who browned it,stained it and did the final assembly and inlay..He used a mixture of 3 different stains to get that color.
