I appreciate everyone's input, suggestions, and even telling me to make sure it shoots well, that it needs a good deal of work, etc.
I do not appreciate your snarky comment and arrogant attitude.
I was looking up posts by others and there you are, all over the place, putting things down and being a "Negative Nancy".
You seem to have a good deal of knowledge about these firearms, so how about using that knowledge, along with a little bit of common tact and grace, to help people improve them instead of knocking them?
I bought a Jim Chambers Mark Silver rifle kit in 2006 that I have not been able to finish due to life just getting in the way. I am at the tail end of a divorce which has made it even more difficult now with most everything needing to go into storage while I live in my tiny Casita camper.
I do not have $2000+ to drop on a perfect replica right now, and I don't have the tools and setup to work on a good kit, but I can do some basic improvements on this gun. This replica will serve as a stopgap to at least help me finally get into muzzle-loading, historical trekking and God willing I can finish that Mark Silver Rifle when I get back on my feet. I can then get a more accurate FDC and use this as a loaner or whatever for a friend who may be interested.
That being said, again: I welcome suggestions to make it more acceptable. Once I am sure it shoots well, I can move forward with improving it.
