sounds awesome...im kinda excited about this! i read they need a 300$ deposit...and take about a year to get done...so i could save the 300 this summer...order it...maybe even a little nicer then the basic rifle since id be paying like half now half next summer.....i gota talk to dad about it tonight...and i remembered about an old bow in the garage i gota talk to him about....i may be able to have the best of BOTH worlds lol...bow hunting..AND my big bore flinter....figure i can set the bow up and be shooting for 200$ or so and have that old bow flinging some good shots...then save the 300 and figure out what i want and order my gun later in the summer.....then work on it next winter.....i dont really mind the wait...itll kill me...but works out good for me....dont be surprised if i got more questions regaurding what i want etc....lol..hope you dont mind..

wood really doesnt matter to me....i mean it would be nice to have a fancy piece of wood on it..but thats another 100+...and ill be small game hunting with it more then anything i bet...so itll take a bit of a beating...and being long its bound to take hits from branches and such..basic wood will do me just fine..i love the looks of nice fancy wood but really dont want it on a shotgun that ill be USING and hunting with...pheasants...squirrels..bunnys..turkey...dee r...all from the same gun....i might as well sell all my other rifles lol

my dads going to think im nuts...but he knows i love flintlocking...and when he hears i can load it with shot OR a giant round ball he will be impressed...excpecially next year when i get some roundballs to fit it!!!
