Black Powder Rifle Kits
« on: August 08, 2016, 03:05:42 am »
I'm curious if anyone has purchased a 'build your own' black powder rifle kit like this:

Just have a bug to create something new. If you have any recommendations for a kit (if this one isn't good) or other advice.

If my propensity to collect 100 year old Russian rifles didn't do that already, I'm not worried about this. :)

I don't know about that particular kit, but you might look here, too: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/default.php?cPath=22_162_193 Check the sidebar if you want percussion or pistol kits, this page is for flintlock kits.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hey, did you get one?  If so, how did it work out?  My nephew is considering doing the same thing.
