Anyone wanting to roll their own flintlock rifle/smoothbore, and you have very little experience building these guns but you know the difference 'tween a hammer and screwdriver, GET THE WOODSRUNNER KIT. It practically builds itself and the quality of EVERYTHING is nothing short of superb. Cost? The plain maple or cherry wood kit is $1200 + shipping (shipped in a stout wooden box). Calibers offered are .45, .50, or .54 in either rifled or smooth. Finished .54 is 7-1/4lbs. Add some 3F REAL black powder, some balls and lubed patches, a few extra flints, and yer good to go for plinking or hunting skwerls to moose. I can't say enuf good things about the Woodsrunner kit, it's a complete break-through for a trad muzzleloader flinter kit, nothing anywhere comes close to it ... hell, I'm getting another, this time in .45 and cherry wood.
