Better off buying a gun?

[westrayer]

I have not had any luck finding a Deerstalker in .50 flinock. I started looking at a barrel and lock to just use on my Caprock version. Prices for parts are more expensive than the whole gun. I guess the market for these is tight.

Have you placed a 'wanted" post on this forum? Something should come up even if not immediately. I have a LH Deerstalker flint but it's in my permanent collection. Hope you find one.

I did post for a Deerstalker flintlock. If nothing shows up, I have an older T/C Hawken that easily fills my needs.

I built a TC Renegade from random parts, I had to buy a few things like an under-rib and screws at scalper prices off eBay. I picked up a NOS barrel in the white for $65 which got me started but after buying an L&R lock and all of the other needed parts, I had $425 in the finished gun.

Check out Investarms website. They still make the models they made for Lyman and sell them under their own models and label. From there you may be able to find one. Unless not saying Lyman is a deal breaker that is.

@westrayer Here ya go. In stock and on sale.

They also have kits in stock but for a 60 dollar difference I'd buy a finished one and not look back.
