Looking for flintlock builder

[Rangefogger]

I’m looking to have a rifle built probably a York but I’m pretty open to others like a Lancaster, Virginia… any builders who aren’t too backed up to take an order?

 

[Elgatodeacero]

Yes, this is a hard craftsman to find that has an open order book.

A budget and caliber would help. I know of a couple , but you better have a fat wallet. Depends on the decorations.
It would be better to shop around and watch Rock Island Auctions. They have a Wayne Watson rifle coming up this month that will probably go for $4-6000 plus 30% for various fees, but no wait.
If you can get to Knoxville this month there is a BP show. I might have something.

 

[Rangefogger]

I’d say $4000.00 or less… between .50-.58
Brass patchbox and carving. Maybe an inlay and a thumb piece.

Try Cabin Creek Muzzleloaders in Harlem, Pa. near York, Pa. They do excellent work. They will make what you want down to hand forged hardware!

Just a though...You be the builder...start with a Kibler Colonial. With basic skills, you will have a fine rifle that you will be more proud of than if you had it built.

In my opinion, if a master gunsmith can build your gun right away, he's probably no too good.

If you live in Pa, Dixon's may have something on consignment. Cabin Creek often has rifles on Consignment too.

I don't know how long the wait period would be, but you might call Jim Parker of Calvary Longrifles and find out. He does beautiful work. He is in Warrior, Alabama.

Brad and Sean Emig at Cabin Creek do excellent work. The rifle they built me is possibly the very best thing I own. But 2 things: It's Hallam, not Harlem, PA. And you will definitely have a wait.

Some of the better builders will not build from a pre-carved stock, plank blank only.
