Pedersoli makes some nice flintlock Kentucky rifle kits. This one is .45 cal, but they've also got it in 32 and 50. I like the .45 myself because it was historically a popular caliber for longrifles and it's big enough for close up work on deer but not too big for small game. I know you said it's gonna be a showpiece but you never know... someone might catch the fever and decide to use it someday.

it is a little more then what I am looking for, I don't know if we want to pay a whole lot for something that may not be shot even once.

traditions Kentucky would be the only reasonably prices kentucky kit on the market.

Thunder Ridge says it has the Traditions Kentucky kit in flintlock, but I can't see how they'd have it when Traditions doesn't showthe flintlock kiton their website. Be worth a call, I guess, to see if they've really got it or if they just haven't updated their website in a long time. Both Thunder Ridge and the Possibles Shop are showing variants that Traditions doesn't list.

You know i was just thinking. Why not a Lyman Great Plains rifle kit? Buy a couple books on what the original Hawken Bros. Plains rifles looked like, get some files and go to work. Midsouth sells them for $300+ s/h. IMO that would look better hanging on the wall. I know this because i own both rifles
