The following firearms appear in the film Jeremiah Johnson:

Unfortunately, the name Hawken came to be synonymous with a a large bore, half-stock, cap lock rifle during this time. Though the movie had Johnson carrying a Hawken gun, the actual gun carried in the movie little resembles a gun after the true Jacob and Samuel Hawken style. Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford) carries both a .30 and .50 caliber Hawkins Plains Rifle.
