Description
Based off of a Jacob and Samuel Hawken design, the Mountain Rifle was the inseparable companion of fur trappers and American explorers alike. Part of the “plains rifle” family, the Mountain Rifle could be found on the horsebacks of fur trappers looking for beaver and other pelts thanks to its long barrel which enabled this rifle to take a targets at longer distances. American explorers also were partial to this rifle due to the longer barrel. Traditions Mountain Rifle in .50 caliber Percussion is reminiscent of the gun used back in this time period of America. While the original had a rust brown finish on the barrel, Traditions has selected a Brown CeraKote Finish which replicates this finish while providing increased corrosion resistance. The Patch Box, custom scrolled trigger guard, and many other features make this a gun you’ll want to add to your collection.
