Default RE: I want a flintlock

Heres what you want, best price i can find. Dont buy that factory finished stuff. The bluing that comes on them from the factory i hear is ****. You may also want to look into either an antique color barrel or browning it. For an antique look you simply rub the barrel,lock and assessories down with a couple coats of bleach and then 0000 steel wool and oil it down and your done. For the stock i'd use the water stain and then hand rub 8-9 coats of boiled linseed oil into it and then rub bees wax. Gives it an authentic look. Have fun with it and take your time if you choose to buy the kit.
