I would love to see more pictures. Particularly if it has a beaver tail cheek.
Is the lock cased or browned? Looks like it might be cased but hard to say from here.Nice rifle!
It's browned just a bad picture.

Michael,
What style would you call it or what maker do you think? It appears to have some Hawken half stock design elements but then the cheek piece and trigger guard appear to be more of Kentucky style.
BrentD,
Do you have Baird's book?

I don't know if I do but I think I have seen it. Might be in the University library.

There are some very good pics of 7 rifles (both sides) in the preface. One is a pistol grip stock. It might help in you project. If you can't find it or don't have it let me know and I can maybe help out.

I would remember the pistol grip stock I think. So, I guess I have not seen it. I'd be interested in some copies of those pictures. I am looking to get a few more samples to get the proportions for the cheek right.
Thanks,
Brent

You guys that have Baird's book there is a little Fuller information in it. Also a picture of him standing next to the shop with an original Hawken.

"The Michael Petrov Collection" - Going to be one hell of an auction (or series of auctions) when the time comes.
I sure hope you've got all that data you are so generous in sharing preserved in a form that will allow future researchers and custodians of these beautiful rifles to retrieve it.
