If you decide you wish to put one together, you have to decide if it will be a flintlock or a percussion ignition type. There are dozens of makers of both type of kits so the internet is your friend. For a flint lock the top of the line is Jim Kibler and his stocks are so well made almost NO wood work is required. If you are wanting to do some wood work such trimming the lock opening or barrel channel the Pecatonica Rive is who I use. They supplied the parts for the Schuetzen rifle in the picture above and it took me 3 months to finish it, percussion type. Thompson Center make good low priced kits and that is how I started.
