Modern Muzzleloader Mod and Build

[ryandiet]

I am looking to build a muzzleloader/flintlock rifle that can be modded with magpul parts. Ideally a carbine style that maintains the wooden stock and brass look but has a modern "upper." Can anyone suggest a way forward? I am looking a the Kentucky Rifle kit from ( Traditions™ Kentucky Rifle Kit - .50 Cal Percussion - KRC52206 ).
I am open to other kits too.

Thanks!

Perhaps if you clarify what you want to be able to do with the rifle that the modern parts and accessories will allow, so that folks understand what you're trying to do?

You rang? But seriously, if you're after what I think you're after one of the little plastic stocked CVA/Traditions carbines might be a better choice.

Do you have others? I find it interesting

The "mentality" here is all about tradition. That's because this is a traditional muzzleloading forum. I think some here would be much happier on a modern muzzleloader forum. And what purpose would the modern additions serve?

Thanks for helping and the answer to your question is no. I have seen very few pictures of others but none to really get good direction from.

I tend to follow many paths with guns
Could you point me towards a modern BP forum please?
Not leaving here, just expanding

I've seen a couple of posts that needed approval and have not been approved. But this is a forum for muzzleloaders usually 1865 and earlier.
I'm sorry if some do not see that. But I did wonder when I saw the title Modern on this thread.
But it is closed now. I will send the original poster a link to help them out with their issue.

So we do try to let people know the new, modern style does not work here.
