I currently have none since I can't really use iron sights nowadays. I did just find this http://texasguntrader.com/index.php?a=2&b=41164 which looks like a good buy for someone wanting a more traditional rifle.

Just the one I built earlier this yr.
.50 Hawken took about 40 hours to finish to my tastes.
I really do love it though. I enjoy shooting it just as much as looking at it, hunting with it, wiping it down, walking past it in my cabinet, wiping it down, and shooting it, and you get the point..
Wanna go flintlock next go round.
I remember over 15yrs ago when you could buy the kits at Wal-Mart for less than a $100. If that was so today I would be in trouble.
