Black Powder Rifle Kit

nhancedsvt · Jun 22, 2009

I am looking to build a traditional black powder rifle this fall and was just wondering what you guys suggested for a good kit. I looked at the Traditions kits at Bass Pro but don't know if there is something better out there without spending a fortune or if the Traditions kit is even worth the money (about $270). Thanks for the help!

I'm looking for more of a traditional BP. I already have a CVA inline to use but want to try something a little different.

I have not seen it but I was told that T/C Omegas are selling at wally world for $200. If that is so, the value of a kit for $270 is questionable. U still have to buy sandpaper, blueing for the barrel and varnish or oil fot the stock. Unless you already have a wood rasp and chisels you have to buy that too. I put one together the wife bought me last Christmas. It is fairly easy but the trigger did not work correctly out of the box.

stock..about 20 finger rubbed and buffed with steel wool coats
on the stock, and had a gunsmith blue the barrel...Still looks new
today......

I have a TC hawken kit. Bought it from Gander Mountain Sports in 1977, for about $100. Still in the box. Wonder what it is worth now?
