What is the overall length and weight?

Just to be clear about what I might get myself into -- I've not done a kit, so in no way am I criticizing what has been done -- from the pics, it looks like the parts I could still royally screw up are:
> carve out patch box
> finish setting buttplate
> breech plug tang is proud, so finish inletting that
> finish inletting side plate
> finish/contour side plate
> drill, tap/set threads, inlet trigger guard
> finish sanding, apply finish

...anything I am missing?

In the 6th pic, I think, just below where it says 40 cal, on wood above the side plate, there is a rough line or cut in the wood. I don't think it's a crack, because it doesn't show on the pic above the side plate. Is it just a scratch?

Thanks,

Patch box carve out with a drill paddle bit and chisel

Butt plate just needs screwed down pretty much set

Breech plug tang is full inlet, it just wasn't screwed down

Side plate is inletted, plate needs sanded down and finished

That is not a crack you see, just an area that needs more sanding.

Overall length is 54" weight is 7.5lb

Cut dove tails and install both front and rear sights which are not pictured. Semper Fi.

Patch box carve out with a drill paddle bit and chisel

Use a Forrester bit. It drills a much cleaner hole. Semper Fi.

drill and tap lock plate in 2 spots. if you line the holes up right I'm not a gunsmith enough to make this a deal for me, but will for someone i'm sure

Oh yes those bits would be better, and I have a set. I just forgot about them

Thanks much for that...I didn't catch that...I have to consider that.

 

[TxGR]

Hmmmm...............

 

[Mulebrain]

Barrel hasn’t been vented and has only been breached. Bore is perfect

 

[J.M.Browning]

Someone is going to get a bargain - all the work being done on this rifle is a added value .

 

[Mulebrain]

I know

The work done is nice, and the inletting on the patch box is real good.

 

[rp77469]

Man. I thought I was the only one left with an unbuilt Golden Age kit. Nice!

 

[IanH]

Install patch box lid catch, inlet catch spring, drill butt plate and stock for release pin, acquire and fit split hickory rammer, drill/tap/install/finish quality coned flash hole liner. Parts inexpensive and available from Track of the Wolf and many other places. The lock, stock, and barrel alone are worth the price of admission to this project.

I had a golden age arms percussion in 40 cal. That gun was a shootin fool. And I was a fool to let someone talk me out of it. Cant go wrong with the barrels.

 

[oldwood]

Price is good , for the right person with the skills to finish the build.
