That is very nice, you have a beautiful rifle!
I’m trying! Thank you
I think there are some workshops that assist folks in building these kits. Perhaps some people here know of some? And thank you for your compliment!

I am in California, for now. Muzzleloaders are not on the radar here. I’ve looked around and there is a muzzleloader club shoot about 2 hours from me once a month. I am a craftsman, 3rd generation, I greatly admire the rifle building skill and want to learn. I’m thinking I had just better jump in and get my feet wet.
There is a lot of tutorials on the internet. Lots.

That looks a better rifle than what I make, oh so nice, I used oak on my last flintlock it's so difficult to shape all feathery and splits. Just cannot get decent maple in uk, the walnuts a bit soft , but I have a cherry tree needs cutting down.......will you shoot patch ball or a bullet for deer , I could produce 900 ft lbs of energy .....as you probably know I have a double .36 percusion rifle ,maybe 1885 , mint bores, me thinking outside the box with Sierra pistol bullets for deer, just dreaming I am not allowed to shoot it in uk, France maybe, U.K. police won't give me a shotgun S2 cert let alone a S1 rifle cert, might shoot intruders at 78 just got back from Firtamentura Cannaries. Nothing to shoot there just a pile of sand..... Very nice it makes us all happy
That is purty! If not a Pathfinder Trade Secret, how did you attach the German silver star? It looks inletted, but no screws or studs that I can see.
Wow!!! Mad Skills Boss!!!

.36 has a little poke power and doesn't throw a lot of lead and powder.
Pathfinder, you made a very nice gun there, I'm thinking between one of these or possibly getting a Chamber PA fowler......decisions. decisions! I also like your dulcimers, I have no experience with playing an instrument like those but my daughter plays the violin... maybe the apple from the tree.... you know what I mean!
Hi Hatman, thanks very much for your nice comment! I have heard great things about Chambers and I was looking at his Fowler also, the New England one.
theMountain Dulcimer is actually one of the easiest stringed instruments to play-traditionally just the diatonic scalewhich can be tuned to a variety of modes. It’s also uniquely American and born in the hills on Appalachia, which is why it’s also known as the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer. You can get a nice used one on eBay for a hundred bucks or so, and plenty of tutorials on line to learn with. And they sound so haunting and melodious. And needno flints or caps, either
Thanks for the come back Pathfinder! I'll have to look into the Ebay thing and see what's available. No flints....a good one!Hi Hatman, thanks very much for your nice comment! I have heard great things about Chambers and I was looking at his Fowler also, the New England one.
