I’m throwing around getting a long rifle kit next summer depending on how much my taxes hit me and I like the price point of the traditions flintlock Kentucky long rifle kit. I currently have the hawken woodsman and it’s extremely accurate out to 100yds, maybe further as I’ve only shot out to 100 with it, and I don’t mind that they are a little cheaper built. What I did notice is that I can only find a kit with a single trigger. I personally prefer the double trigger and dug into it a bit more and saw that the percussion kit of the same Kentucky long rifle has a deluxe model with the double triggers. My main question is does a double trigger kit exist for the traditions? Even looking at some pedersoli kits close to 1000 dollars they only have a single trigger. If a double trigger flintlock Kentucky long rifle isn’t made by traditions, are there any other similar flintlock kits (pa long rifle, Kentucky long rifle, Tennessee long rifle) in that 550-650 range?
 
The Gun Works sells a fly and a tumbler that will accept the fly. You could change it out if you wanted.

With a little work though, the single trigger can be pretty smooth. Mine does like to be well greased. Oiling it doesn't seem to work as good as grease. I took mine apart and polished all wear surfaces and that helped tremendously.
