What Flintlock kit?

[Jim Comer]

what is a good flintlock kit and does someone make a blunderbuss kit? thanks

 

[Zonie]

I don't know of any good blunderbuss kits except for the ones from The Rifle Shoppe and just the kits parts will run about $1200.

Dealing with them, one also has to put up with promises to deliver in 6 weeks and not getting their parts for over a year.

Pecatonica offers one: http://longrifles-pr.com/blunderbuss.shtml

Sitting Fox offers a few: http://www.sittingfoxmuzzleloaders.com/k/K4 Blunderbuss/K4 Blunderbuss/K4 Blunderbuss.html http://www.sittingfoxmuzzleloaders... Blunderbus_files/K8 Club Butt Blunderbus.htm http://www.sittingfoxmuzzleloaders...Maple/K50 Club Butt Blunderbuss in Maple.html

I don't think I'd bother with TRS for one, given these options.

Other than the TRS ones, the others mentioned are not much in my opinion unless you are just wanting something to look remotely like a BB.

Mike Lea used to sell a fairly decent pre-carve that went with the Ed Rayl BB barrels that Stonewall Creek Outfitters offers. I don't know if Mike still has those or not but Troy still carries the barrels at Stonewall.

You should be able to get a builder to make a decent martial version from the stick using the Rayl barrel, Chambers round face lock and some Bess furniture from Geohring. :thumbsup:

I got everything I needed to build my 4 bore blunderbuss from TWO suppliers: Michael Lee and Stonewall Creek Outfitters.

Michael Lee is 614 291 4757 and Stonewall Creek is 434 993 3557

I talked to this fellow about the BB the Baltimore Ranger(second from top) is holding. He told me about $1,100.00 finished I think it looks good.
