After my wife rec'd her Nursing License and started work around 1991 the
1st thing she bought (for me) was a Hawken 50 Cal by Conn Valley. It
was a gun I always wanted and I guess I talked about it a lot. Anyway,
I really like it but have never fired it. I suspect it works as it
should though. I need to take it to the range one of these days to see
how it shoots ;-) Since it's a Black Powder gun I am hoping the recoil
is mild - had to stop shooting my M-1 Garand because of the shock it
gave my shoulder.
I should probably trim my collection a bit. Based on the previous post
I guess it's safe to assume the value of a 50 Hawken by CV is in the
$300-$500 range?

Correct. In the case of the Kentucky rifles (and many other guns for that
matter) the stock included the forearm and continued to the end (or nearly the
end) of the barrel. In the case of the Hawken the forearm stops part way down
the barrel.
I was also wrong about the dates for the Hawken brothers, they started shop
around 1830.

Nice! Gun terms: I thought the stock touched your shoulder and the forearm runs along the barrel, so this rifle has a half-stock forearm?
