Thread: tony hawkins 58 cal hawkan rife good or bad info wanted cheers

Maca 49 would be a good source of info but i had a hawkin barrel made by tony I made it into an underhammer shutzen in the early80. A big octagonal barrel in 45 cal, it was a tackdriver but weighed nearly 10 pounds in the stock i made for it from eucalyptus. The barrel was repurposed later into a rolling block in 45/70. He was based in the hawkes bay if i remember correctly and made a lot of good stuff. If its a genuine Hawkins then its a piece of NZ firearms history.
