Looking to build my 1st 50cal flintlock. What "kits" are recommended? I'm looking for a kit that has 85 to 95% of the inletting done.

I got a LH 54 cal GPR. I did not buy it as a kit though. Bought it assembled and used.
However, the skill set might be too low. IT looks like a bit of tiny clearancing to make the parts fit nice, finish sanding, and oiling the stock. Looks like every part is finished and blued. Lock is all together, barrels has everything on it and finished.
Doesn't seem any different than buying a furniture kit, putting the screws in the holes, and slothering on some minwax.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I will tip my hat to anyone who wants to do it.
However, a project this basic will not build up much confidence to make something more challenging.
What's your experience with tools. You afraid to fix a leaky roof on the house. If the car is leaking antifreeze, do you do it yourself, or call AAA?
