Bought a pre-carve maple stock and new 40 cal barrel at a sale a couple of years ago and it is in the process of being turned into a functioning flintlock now. Should be done in a couple of months. [Linked Image]

Looking pretty good so far.

Straight barrel? Looks like a Siler lock.

Nice horns!!

I really need to try this, sooner or later I want to build a light .32 flinter.

Looks like a couple more builds ready on the wall.

This is my neighbor's shop who is doing the build. He has made some amazing horns and is a very talented artist. He will be presenting a horn that he made at the NMLRA convention in Pennsylvania soon that commemorates their 1000th $1000 dollar donor. I got to see it yesterday and it is amazing. I am going to buy a Kibler 32 Kit in the spring to put together and get started learning at a basic level.

Well....your neighbor must go to Friendship to sell some items ...eh ?

Can't wait to see the finished product

Believe it or not he doesn't sell, this is the first build he has done for anyone for profit. Makes the Horns for enjoyment but stated that he will be willing to do them for folks wanting specific items now that he is retired.

The kibler .32 is at the top of my want items…
I have 2 traditions Crocketts for my kids, I just need to find or build something similar for my oldest boy who’s a lefty. Also 1 more Crockett pistol, so all 3 have one.
