In late December I posted about trying to find a rifle. Well from then until now my search has yielded nothing to me. I have been so busy with work that I havent been able to travel out of state to the well known Muzzleloading shops or the different fairs. Ive been able to find at least 5 rifles though that are worth buying. One is a .45 Kibler SMR kit with a 46" Barrel that hasnt been started yet. The second is a Maryland Longrifle kit that hasnt been started yet from Track of the Wolf. The final two are a Traditions Mountain Rifle with a Brass tube scope and a Taylor Volunteer Whitworth .451. The first two are flintlock rifles and the last two are Percussion. I was deadset on Flintlock but to be honest any rifle will do now. Has anyone ever assembled a Track of the Wolf or Kibler kit ? This being said Ive never done a kit but am willing to give it a try. I dont have pictures of the kits or the Whitworth which is New in Box but I do have a picture of the Traditions that I will post. The Whitworth Rifle is priced about $2,000 the seller is firm. The Maryland LR kit is $1,350 and right now the TOTW website is Out of Stock of everything for that kit so I cant base the seller's price against the TOTW price. Lastly the Kibler SMR kit seller wants $1,450 for his kit since Kibler doesnt offer a 46" barrel anymore. The Traditions Mountain Rifle seller is still undecided on his sale price and asked what Id offer to which without any knowledge couldnt reply. If I could get some feedback on the matter that would be swell. Im trying to decide if I should get one of the kits or just go for the finished rifles. Thanks to all who reply I know this is one hell of a wierd thing to ask.
