It will be extremely difficult (hard on your patience) to build when you don't already have one to shoot. When building a rifle you need to savor the time building, not fantasize about how much fun it will be to shoot. Most people will hurry and do a poor job. By all means get one to shoot first while you are trying to figure out what you want to build. Just my two cents.

Your two cents has been my thought for the past few days as I've been researching which kit/style of flintlock I want. I am really partial to a Lehigh Valley/Allentown rifle, But my ADD is telling me to buy something more simple and shoot it a bunch before I dedicate time into a build.
 
Jimmy, by all means BUY before you build. And TRY before you buy. Most muzzleloaders will gladly let you try their gun so you can get a feel for what they look like, how they feel, and how they appeal to you. Part of that decision process is likely to be whether you are just wanting to shoot black powder or you want to portray a particular era in history. I'd be happy to talk with you about all that.
