They just left it in the white to match the other lock screws and frizzen spring.

Hey thanks for all the input! I'd love to have a few of tracks rifles they have for sale but they are sadly well out of my price range. I'm going to call a couple of the other vendors mentioned on monday and see if any have walnut. Has anyone built a Chambers kit? How much inletting nedds to be done in comparison to TOTW or others? I am fairly handy mechanically but have done little woodwork other than refinishing a stock or two.

How would this kit fit the 1750-1760 range? It has gemanic influence,[url] http://www.cabincreek.net/pa_mountain_rifle.html[/url]

Once again we are grateful for all the help, my 10yr old daughter is chomping at the bit to start developing her persona....of course she is trying to figure a way to have her own flintlock too..

The Friendship matches end on Sunday. Don't know if Tip will be back by Monday. Might need to give him a couple extra days.

These Cabin Creek kits are OK but the Pa. Mtn rifle doesn't look as early as they say, probably late 18th century and it is a kit. The Chambers kits are the very best available but they are designed for the professional or highly experienced amateur maker.You might look at[url] earlyrusticarms.com[/url]. you can get finished,in the white,or kits at very competitive prices.
