my Pedersoli is one of the ones with a really good lock.......ignition time is as close to zero as can be imagined......faster than percussion rifles.
The Blue Ridge, & Kentucky seem to have these locks........the Jaegers and Mortimers seem very problematic.

I have one of the Pedersoli rifles and it works fine. The lock time is very quick and it always sparks well. I've never had a failure to fire with it.
See I had the exact opposite with a blue ridge... It all depends on how anal you are, which I am allot... I found both the mainspring and frizzen spring to be entirely to stiff and strong. I also had issues with the frizzen being improperly hardened.
One needs to understand you absolutely will not get the quality in a production rifle as you would in the previously mentioned Kibler kits. However, if my gift card was to go towards a production flinter it certainly would be a blue ridge (essentially a Pedersoli frontier) over any traditions rifle.
If one is to apply their own funds to the purchase, then save your dollars for a real kit.

I'm another in the camp that thinks the Traditions are just fine. You will find the manufacturing and engineering to be of good quality.
Depends on what you mean and call "Of good quality".
