Traditions locks are terrible and I will never own another one. You might get by if it were a caplock. The wood is not very nice and the barrel is pretty short. I would take that $175 and buy a good lock or barrel and start your project from there. I don't mean to offend but that is what I would do.

I have two of them. One in flint the other is a caplock. The flint has issues one of which could be me. The caplock has been reliable and shoots better than I can hold or see. No they may not be the highest quality but for the money they are hard to beat.

I'd buy one if they'd offer it in .36.

I don't have a Tennessee rifle but I do have a Traditions Crockett. The fit and finish on my rifle is excellent and the rifle is accurate. Keep yer powder dry.......robin :hmm:

This one is a percussion and if the barrel is bad I was thinking of boring it out and making it a smoothy

I suggest lapping a "bad" barrel before having it rebored. I have salvaged many "bad" barrels by lapping or refreshing if needed. :idunno:

I agree with Deputy Dog that the Crockett is a superior performing rifle. In fact, Traditions barrels are amazingly well made and accurate. Clean the bore up and see how it shoots.
If it's rusted bad, I'd get them down in price otherwise like the others said, clean it up and see of it shoots. It may surprise you.
