    Italian made flintlocks

    What the H does it matter,sturmkatze???? Why does anyone think a newbie just seeing if this is a game they might like has to start in w a kit??? It's ridiculous. The fastest,easiest way to jump in BP it to buy a rifle and start shooting,NOT to order a kit and take on a build. I'm beginning to...

    I didn't say you couldn't do it,I said w-out any experience you probably won't end up w as nice a piece as a new manufacture. There's nothing wrong w what the factories are putting out.

    Italian made flintlocks

    This whole "build it yourself" mantra is just silly in my opinion. Most of us don't have the skills and the tools to do that kind of job ourselves!Gunsmithing and stockwork skills take practice and many times of trial and error to learn. More times than not,someone who orders a kit will just end...

    Jaeger Rifle or Long Rifle ?

    In my opinion,with patched round balls, a 50 would be a minimum. As to jaeger or long rifle,pure aesthetics. Which do you like the looks of. To carry and handle in the woods,I'd stay at a max of 36 in barrel. JMO
