Looking for some help sourcing parts

[ryoko]

Hi all, Just finished a Traditions Kentucky pistol kit, and wanted to take a step further and make a similar pistol but have myself doing much more of the work.

I have a nice piece of stock wood from a project that never happened, so I have that covered. Sourcing the Lock, Barrel and Trigger is the next step. Looking for a full octagon .50 cal rifled barrel in the white. I think I'll need to buy the tang section and drum+liner separately... Can anyone confirm that and add if I missed any barrel parts other that sights. It will be percussion.

Does anyone sell a barrel assembly, lock, trigger package?

I was looking at a site muzzleloaderbuilderssupply that looks to have what I need. Any experience with them. Better site options? I would like to keep the costs down as I'm still learning. The mistakes hurt much less

I've also thought of getting another traditions kit and just scrapping the stock, but I feel I might be missing out on some of the experience going that route.

Thanks in Advance,
Ry

I have a pistol made by them and it has one of their 1:20" twist pistol barrels. 10". That pistol is stupid accurate and has helped me win many shoots.

I have been sourcing a lot of my parts from muzzleloader builders supply as of late and am very pleased with the service I have received. Its the little things that these people do that makes it such a pleasure to deal with all the way down to the handwritten thank you on the receipt accompanying the product.
