Thanks for linking my pic, Hawg! Woulda taken me half an hour to find it!
Hawg, is this Kibbler your first flintlock? I can't remember. After all is said and done are you pleased with the rifle and outcome overall?

After all is said and done are you pleased with the rifle and outcome overall?I had one when I was 13. It was a nice looking maple stocked Kentucky in .45 caliber but it didn't spark worth a crap. I didn't know jack about them except for what I saw on TV and probably just needed a new flint. I thought it was a POS and it turned me off of flintlocks for many, many years. I'm very pleased with it. I've been wanting one for a long time but don't like the look of the CVA's/Traditions etc and a Pedersoli was always too much. Now that it's just me my needs are few and I don't eat much and I wanted one really good flintlock before I die.
I've had other things in the past that did not do what they were supposed to? Information wasn't readily available like it is today so I understand that completely. Just glad you are happy with the rifle. Were the older CVA's any different than today's CVAs or have they stayed the same? What was it about the CVA rifles that you did not like? just curious.
