Easiest kits besides percussion?

[SKS_madman]

What is the easiest type of BP kit I could build that is still cheap? (cheap is $400+/-)


I want to try a flinter pistol but I am looking for other options too... :thanks:

Do you have a link to said site?

A search of the web came up with a still lower price on the kits. Lyman Great Plains Rifle kits start at $267.59 at D&R Sports Center. Cheaper if you buy 3 or more, ex. perc kits priced at $247.77 each!
D&R Sports

I haven't purchased from them, but I know other members have.

The easiest and probably the best shooter, probably not the best looking, is the Underhammer rifle.
You can't beat them for ease, longevity, and quality.
With a pewter nose cap and a cresent but plate, you can have a mighty fine, and period correct rifle.

You can get the Pedersoli Kentucky flint pistol kit for just a little over $200. It's a good gun, a pretty easy kit to build, and you'll learn quite a bit building it.


Pedersoli Kentucky Flint kits at DGW

check the prices at wal-mart for the GPR.
Go to the sporting goods dept and ask for the catalog..
They will special order if for you and you don't have to pay shipping.
i don't remember what they are currently are.
Plus they give a 10% employee disscount. If you know any one that works for them, have them pick it up.. :hmm:

Dam, the beavers said.....

I was gonna suggest a Jim Chambers kit, but then quality isnt the issue, just cheap.

Any more you guys know of? I prefer the look of flintlocks, they just seem so much more "rustic". :thumbsup:
