Mr K does some precise work. His rifles/guns are second to none. If we have a future history, he will choke up to Hawken status. There are a lot of old retired folks on here with an amazing skillset for final assembly, they buy, build & resale to stay within reach of beer & smoke funds.
 
Understand the appeal of a flintlock from Jim Kibler. It is #2 on my lust list right under a @Rob M. trade gun.
But why are there so many completed kits listed for sale?
Heck, I intend for the great grand kids to be fighting over that old grumpy so&so's favOrite flintlock rifle.
Any insight on why so many are listed for sale?
Some people are probably building these kits as a hobby. They then sell them and make a few bucks in the process. The same as a hobbyist wood worker, who makes boxes, cutting boards etc. It's not practical to keep everything you make while enjoying your hobby.
