    Ram Rod Drill?

    Last time I drilled out to a larger diameter hole I used a steel rod from the hardware store and filed a D shape on the end...It scrape along and got the job done for that one with a few sharpening along the way.

    Intermediate kits?

    Instead of a junk barrel go to the hardware store and get a steel square stock and practice there. as far as 2x4 I think you need to practice on hardwood. call dunlap and get a $20 half stock.

    Intermediate kits?

    I think there is more to it than the kits themselves yes some are cut better but it's the Toolbench, Tools , lighting, vise, grinder and the ability to sharpen tools and make tools that really makes the difference in how hard a build is IMO.

    TVM kit

    here is Mr. B's Video it's good for showing how to shape the stock....his attachment method I would not do. You can look at HootAls page and it will show how to do it correctly, with a rivet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEnrjXdegiQ

    Just one note on a flint, you have to have real Black powder. If it was available local my next build would be flint. BP can be ordered but then you more than likely have hasmat fees to add to the cost. You could get the Shenandoah and check L&R website for a replacement lock convert it to...
