It's time to stop thinking and start doing
Eric Krewson:
I think he needs a rifle instead of a smoothbore, he wants to reach out and touch them.
sleek:
Indeed it's a rifle I'm wanting. Eric, if you have the time and energy, I'd appreciate your knowledge in piecing together a kit for me. With all the parts that aren't available, the good parts the bad ones, what goes to what, im out of my element here. I don't have the knowledge to even know what questions to ask.
Eric Krewson:
You have to decide on exactly what style gun you want, for a beginner I would go with percussion.
Eric Krewson:
Mostly you need reference material that you can refer to during the different steps of a build.
A lot of us started out with "The Gunsmith of Grenville County" which is pretty through.

I'll be searching for and buying that promptly. Thank you.
As for style, I do want a Hawken, and I like the full stock. I understand what JW said about the flinch with flint, but why do you recommend percussion?
