They are Out there . CVA used to make em i think as a kit I have one in my engraved guns display case. It was in a gun shop display not for sale i watched it for 15 years. They gave it to me when the shop closed . Last i saw sold went over $800 on gun broker good luck locating one out in the wild. You can go to Tennessee vally arms and they list the parts to build one

The Rifle Shoppe makes a parts kit for a few different blunderbusses IIRC.

This one looks like something Uncle Fester would be proud of - it's also out of stock but you can add your email for a notification if you're willing to wait.

I bought this one late last year, need to drill a hole and a fair amount of other work to get it functional: https://www.militaryheritage.com/musket9.htm This one comes ready to go, they do a lot of work on them before shipping out, may take a few months to get: http://veteranarms.com/ReproductionMuzzleloadersandFlintlocks/Military-Blunderbuss.html This one will need drilling, not sure of the overall quality: http://www.loyalistarms.freeservers.com/dogblund.html How to blunderbuss  Military Blunderbuss by Veteran Arms |

Veteranarms sounds like the way to go. It's to bad all this shit comes from India.
 I've seen that traditions, it sucks that it's only .54 caliber. Blunderbuss should be much bigger bore. At least some of these are .75, that's like 12 gauge. |

If he does not have it in stock though it can take a while. Love my Brown Bess! |

I built one of these a few years ago but it requires you to inlet most of the small parts and finish inletting the barrel and lock fit. Uses up lots of powder and lead being 4-gauge but makes a ton of smoke.

Where are the parts made? I wish I could get a 4 bore blunderbuss though. Blunderbusses are supposed to be huge. It's dumb that traditions made theirs .54! It should be in a shotgun size. |

The smaller parts I'm not sure since they aren't marked. Stock is walnut. I am not an expert builder so there are some cosmetic errors but they are more obvious to me than people who have handled it. I agree the traditions one being .54 is dumb, even a 20ga is ~.62. |
