Then I would suggest you check out the Lyman great Plains rifle, if you want to be more historically accurate.
However, there are literally TONS of used Hawkens on the market, at least here in MI....most are caplocks, but everyone is tradin' 'em in for in lines, so there is a lot to choose from.....but again, caveat emptor! I would say 90-95% of these bores weren't cleaned properly, and are corroded......some mildly so and usable, and others horribly so.
Also keep in mind that you can have muzzleloaders shipped to your door....no FFL required, so if you see something on gunbroker or guns america, you can usually have it shipped to you without having to have a middle man with an FFL. You might want to check sellers out of PA, as, IIRC, they have a muzzleloading deer season that reguires the use of a flintlock.
Good luck......keep us posted on what you find!
