Trad.Ken.Flnt.Kit.

I need a lot more pratice with my enletting
So I ordered the Traditions 50 cal Flintlock Kit.
I didnt want to spend a lot of money since this will be a training tool to gain more experience before I move onto the more elaborate kits.
I also ordered a patchbox to install on the kit.

82 airbore,
I have a simmilar stock that I need to modify. The 2 pieces are held together by a piece of brass and nails. I want to convert it to the way that Traditions connects the two. Can you tell me how they do it? Thanks,

Looks like an interesting kit, can you tell me where you got the kit? Do they have a website?

Thanks :thumbsup:

Matabele, have a look at[url] www.possibleshop.com[/url]. I know they are selling this spesific kit for $200 odd as well as Lyman kits. :thumbsup:

 

Titus is right.
I purchased it at the possible shop. $235.00
Got the patchbox at the log cabin shop.$23.00

 

Im pretty sure it is pinned.
Ill post some pics in a day or two.

 

I also ordered an inlay.
Not sure if Ill use it or not.

Thats a good looking inlay. Is that the same one they have on Track Of the Wolf? I am considering a silver Hunters Star on the cheek piece of my Lyman GPH. :thumbsup:

 

Hi Titus,
I got the eagle inlay at the log cabin shop.
It was $7.00
I bought some others also.
Ill post pics when they get here.
Should be here today.[url] http://www.logcabinonline.com/intro.html[/url]

For what it's worth, I think Susie produces just about all of the plain inlays like 82 airborne shows and sells them to Dixie and TOTW as well as her customers.

Years ago, they were all made by Don Eads. When he decided to retire, Susie bought all of his tooling and started Muzzleloader Builders' Supply. (now you know 'the rest of the story'. :rotf: ).

Because she makes the inlays, her selection and prices are usually better than the other folks. (plus she is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. )

Sir-If you have not yet made any, break old hacksaw blade into one and a quarter in lengths and grind down one end of each into different widths (my widest in 1/8). Sharpen one side of flat at a bevel and leave the other side Flat. These are my best tools for inletting. Place FLAT side of blade on inside of your line and tap with ballpeen on top. Bevel side will be where you will be removing wood. Once you have gone all around you can then use chisel or exacto to cut at an algle out to where you have previously cut straight down inside your linf. You should get a clean line of wood popping out allaround. Thenerase pencil line. You said that you wanted to improve inletting and I found this a v good method 30 yrs ago. Just a suggestion and I wish you luck.

So I guess then the brass nubs fit into the other half of the stock and the barrel holds the two together?
