Hi folks. I've been reading the forum for a while and thought that I'd better speak up. I live near Kankakee, Il. and do most of my hunting here and in Indiana. I built my first kits way back in the mid 70's. a CVA Mountain Rifle and Frontier rifle. Both came from the factory when they really were in a Connecticut valley. I have built a couple more kits since and one 32 cal flintlock southern mountain from parts. I'm currently working on an early Lancaster left hand (yeah I'm a lefty) kit that I got from at last years kalamazoo show. I killed my last 2 turkeys with a pedersoli 20ga. double. This forum does seem to be the most active place I've found in a while. Just Wanted to say hi to everyone.
