Re: ID antique muzzle loader Black powder rifle
Well it;s NOT an antique with what I assume is a s/n that you grayed out and the roll marked "For Black Powder Only..."
I would think there is other markings somewhere on the barrel or the action that might identify it. To me, it looks like a kit built gun, the inletting looks like it was done by machine and the cheek piece probably wouldn't have been on an antique piece and looked this good after a lot of years.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: ID antique muzzle loader Black powder rifle
Looks to be a CVA Hawken 50 cal flintlock. They were made through the 80's to mid 90's. Not worth a whole lot. Maybe $200 at most.

Re: ID antique muzzle loader Black powder rifle
The original Hawken rifles were made in St. Louis for the western mountain men circa, 1810-1830. They were civilian guns, not military.
As another person correctly said, the reproductions were very common in the 1980s-90s. Thompson Center was one of the better makers of these. If you are into black powder shooting there have a good reputation.
