Traditions Rifle Kits
 

Does anyone have any experience with these kits? How well do they shoot and would you recommend them? I was thinking aboutt he St.Louis Hawken but the Kentucky rifle is nice as well. I know they dont have instructions in the box. I was just going to go buy one from bass-pro.

They are good rifles. I have the kentucky flintlock and love it. Never any problems. Very good rifles for little money.

I was shooting my Tradition's Woodsman Flintlock today. It did just fine. Traditions makes a good rifle. A friend of mine bought his son that St. Louis Hawkins but not in kit form. Nice looking rifle actually. We had a little problem with it going off though, at first. Finally changed it over to a stainless steel hot shot nipple and pure Goex. All the ignition problems ended. It is a nice shooting little rifle. I was kind of impressed with it.

I have one.. only mine is the Woodsman model. A little better wood, hardware, and furniture. I actually have one in percussion and flintlock. You can never be to careful you know.

haha true. Im very very close to buying a .54 GPR percussion. Probably sell my .54 big bore mountain rifle later on.

Hey barrabas... did you buy one? I'm going through the same debate. I'm hoping a local store will match the BPS price. They carry the Hawken kits and I have a gift card to use. Wish they had a .54 cal kit though.

If I was to buy one I'd deffinitly want mine in .54 but there are so many nice kits out there I'm hard pressed to pick one....:D
Moma would hang me for sure if I was to come home with more than one though....:eek:
