I have been bored this winter, been cold and snow. I have been busy making and repairing bee hives the most of winter. I got stuck on this forum and probably mouthed off too much.
I came across Deer Creek on-line and saw they had a traditions 45 caliber kit. I wasn't expecting much for 315 bucks, but I ordered it anyway.
Now, it is nothing great and the flintlock is a tinny looking affair, but the rest was acceptable due to the price. I have an old L&R lock that looks like will fit. The wood has somewhat appealing grain.
This kit looks like a CVA percussion kit I first bought in 1973. That kit had a Douglass barrel which I still have.
Have any of you messed with these inexpensive kits in these days and times?
