Cay...Are you thinking traditional???
Here's a pretty good one that I was looking at...It's already sold but this guy does "pretty good" work...

Thinking of doing the same or letting a few go and just adding the BC.
Possible to go:
2 or 3 Whites I never shoot - great rifles and deserve to be used.
The Accura - just not as reliable for me with BH209 and not willing to try the bp mods hoping it will be better.

Yes, traditional, .54 caliber slow twist flintlock with a Chambers lock, Green Mountain or Long Hammock 42 inch barrel, in a Cumberland or Colonial style.

I got to examine and handle one of his rifles at a meet. They would not let me shoot it, but drooling was allowed. And I was impressed with it. Not a lot of fancy stuff on it, but well built. The owner said it was a great sparker and shooter. His was only a .54 caliber. I just wish I could find others that purchased his rifles. I would like to talk to them too.

They're actually affordable...I've been holding out for a Chambers kit in either a Lancaster or Hanes...With 3 daughters and paying for cars, college and 2 weddings I've been sliding into the hole the past 4-5 years...
I'd go with the octagon to round as those straight barrels can get heavy when you get up in caliber...
