Maxey was a well known and respected barrel maker/gunsmith/competitive shooter in Kentucky back in the 1960s-1980s. It's quite possible he built complete guns also, but I don't know if he did or not.  Nor do I know if he's still above ground.

I think he resides in the happy hunting grounds in the sky now, not sure though.

Sounds like you have a Kentucky style rifle. The Hawken rifles were nearly all half stock rifles.They did, I believe make some in full stock, but most by far were Half and in bigger cal's than the Kentuck rifles.They had old Grizz to contend with out west :D
