hey fellows,
Thank you very much for the insight on the last post of the "colonial" I see now after your comments and clearer research that this one would be better served as a Golden Age.
How does this one look to you? I see it is $90 for a plain which is a small amount more than a blank (counting shipping). As a lurker, you guys have continuously mentioned learning shape and style, so I thought that I might be ahead with something closer to a finished shape to start with. Again, I really want to learn and practice, I am currently doing a kentucky pistol from a rough kit( quite a bit of inletting)to get experience, and am taking my time and continuously challenged.
I expect to do more guns, but I need a few starter guns that keep the costs down. You guys are right, this is highly addictive!! I want to get to the point where I feel i could (with careful planning), not be intimidated by most any flintlock project. This one has a straight barrel, but is a wider buttplate. I dont nessessarily need to by the hardwhere here, but the lock, stock and barrel I probably would. Wadda ya think? It is the Jacob Dickert from Track-no lock inlet
