Horn & Bag kits

[mahd776]

Got my first flinter the other day. Thinking a horn and shooting bag would be fun to put together from a kit. Any ones and from who you folks might recommend? Rifle is a Lyman GPR so I am not real concerned with period correctness just yet thought I do want something that looks good with the rifle. Thanks!

Tandy Leather used to have bag kits a very long time ago. I don't know if they still do. :idunno:

You might want to consider grabbing copies of the following books, getting a few supplies and jumping right in. Now I will be the first to admit that I'm a bit, ah, craftsman challenged but I love these two books. Have fun with your projects and do please show us your work when finished. I for one LOVE pictures. :hatsoff:

Thanks lonehunter and Short Arm for the recommendation of Horns and More. Have sent them a email with a couple questions and will be ordering when I hear back. Like there attention to details like left or right carry and the fact that it sounds like they look the horn over pretty well before shipping. Thinking about the large horn kit to start with and see where I go from there.
