The only blunderbuss kits Ive seen are really bad .
Mostly because the flare at the end of the barrel is a thin flimsy POS . Look at what Loyalist Arms offers , but they are not a kit . Have you shot black powder before ? Blunderbusses are fun , but not good for much unless theres a Scallyweg around . I bought mine from Loyalist Arms , works good . Eta , I looked up the Tradition kit , it's really lame , .54 cal. . It should be at least 12 ga. Loyalists is 10 ga. |

Thanks for the suggestion of Loyalist. I'll definitely look into them.
It's been a few years since I've even thought about BP. At this point I'm looking at this as a functional novelty project. Maybe, just maybe, an excuse to fill a muzzle loader tag.

Check out The Rifle Shoppe
I've never ordered from them myself but I have heard that their quality is top notch. Shipping is slow though. |

The Rifle Shoppe is top notch , but like you said they are slow . There are several places online that specializes in these older obscure muzzle loaders . They are made in India and alot of people bitch about the quality ....... well they have to be better than the origanals , metal wise . I think one is named Veteran Arms ... ? Fox is another kit company , check them out . |

The offerings from India seem to be a crap shoot.

Quote HistoryI built this kit about 2 years ago. It's the second kit I've built so I made some cosmetic mistakes but it functions fine. Uses a lot of powder and lead but it's fun to shoot. There are zero instructions included so you need to have some experience or build info from somewhere else. |
