I have built 2 Kentucky Rifle kits, one percussion, one flint. Both are good shooters. Both needed inletting and some tweaking. I would never consider them "sandpaper and screwdriver" kits.*****
I really don't want to think about how much time I put into what should have been a "sandpaper and screwdriver" kit. Someone without my skills, tools and experience would probably just give up. Maybe that's why I was given the kit...…...
One thing I know for sure- no more Traditions kits!
