"Hawkins" .50 cal. Help

olrebel37

I have my father's old (guessing 1950-1980ish) "Hawkins" .50 cal muzzleloader. I have no idea who actually made the rifle. The only "brand" marks on the rifle is of a square with a capitalized "I" inside and followed by "Black Powder Only" and "Made In Italy" and on the top of the barrel it says "Sile Inc. - New York". My problem is this. I need to get a rear sight post for this rifle so that I can start enjoying it again. Any help would be appreciated!

"Siler Inc." is the lock manufacturer. They are some of the very best modern era locks.

Dixie Gunworks will have what you need.

I believe these were made by "Investarms." The same company that makes the Lyman Great Plains Rifles.

Here is a link.
