if you are comfortable with putting it together by all means do so. Looks like a traditions
looks like most parts to assemble but for the drum. not a top tier kit but bet it

After looking at the schematics of both the flintlock & percussion you'll notice a notch in the percussion for the bolster screw. The lock plate in the pic doesn't have a notch.

This is what I have.y 1st ? are most parts TC or Traditions. The barrel is stamped Traditions and dates back to the 80's & has 66 twist. The brass fits the stock nicely. I'd like to know what I have. Maybe it's not worth finishing. Thanks

Hmmm… did the kit come with a ramrod?
Also, you may want to repost in the “Gun Builders Bench” along with these pictures. This may not get enough exposure here.

You could get a dowel rod from Home Depot or Lowe’s just to shoot it. But they are made from soft wood like poplar. Needs to be made from hickory with brass tip. Track of the Wolf has lots of supplies.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your build.

Thanks for all the input but I have decided to purchase a kit or complete rifle and would like to sell the parts I have. Thanks.
