I've got 2 Hawkins type, one flinter and one cap that were kits, one was a gift an Investarms and the other is a Thompson, both were under $300 at the time they were bought. Off the bench with careful load I can get 1 1/2" groups at 50 yds all day long.On a side note, I wonder what type of accuracy can be expected out of a sub $400 kit? Of course that's subjective from person to person, gun to gun, load being used etc. Any personal experience out there?
Must be tongue and cheek. I didnt think they were too bad. The Traditions Kentucky kit over at muzzle-loaders.com is on sale for only $250. I think I'm going to go ahead and order that. Any good recommendations for a starter kit for that BP? I have the powder. I have lead. Any good mold recommendations? I have stain, sand paper, a garage full of tools, anything I'm missing? Tips? Etc. Thanks.sadly all new muzzleloaders kits and all, the prices have shot up extremely high!!
is the kiblers kits are the screw holes taped and threaded??Kibler for beginner.
For $200 more than the Traditions Kentucky, is there any noticeable difference in quality? If so, what? I believe I've read it's more historically accurate? Anything other than that? Thanks.Take a look at Lyman’s Great Plains Rifle. Arguably the best bang for the buck available today.
Just lookin for a Jeremiah Johnson style rifle (sorry, I don't know technical terms on the old muzzleloaders). I do want a percussion though, not a flint. As far as ease of building the kit, I'd prefer something on the harder side. If it just went together like Lego's, I don't see the fun or reward in that
