Check with the Gun Works in Springfield, Oregon. They should be able to fix you right up. All of their custom rifles are available in flint or percussion. Great people to deal with.

Dear Sir:
The Pedersoli frontier is sold by Cabela's has a 1:65 twist in its .54 caliber version.
If you wish to do some of the work yourself, you can try one of the Colonial American Long Rifle kits from Jim Kibler which will come with a long, swamped, .54 barrel with a 1:66 twist, and you get a choice of wood for the stock and whether or not to omit the patch box.

Why that twist? It will work with heavier charges. But a 1:48" will give top accuracy with lighter charges and is very forgiving with heavier hunting loads. Yer gun, yer choice. But you are limiting yourself by insisting on the 1:66" twist.

We need to know a ton more.
What do you intend to use the gun for?
What style of gun do you prefer? (long rifle, plains, military, etc.)?
Do you want a factory gun, or custom build, build yourself?
Budget?
That's a good start to the list.

CHECK TRACK OF THE WOLF AND OCTOBER COUNTRY MUZZLELOADING
If you are going to target shoot and can live with a .50 cal, there is a really nice looking one on page 3 of the classifieds on this forum. If I wasn't married I would buy it.

Check out the Jim Kibler video. It may be a great kit with accurate inletting. But, it is not a 'snap-snap-click-click' assembly job. Some fitting, time and skill is still required to make the parts into a nice rifle.
