While I have made severial purchases from dixie (Dads first smoke poll was a '58 enfield he bought there back in "80 something) building is a must with this one...I want it to be 100% his. Not just an "off the shelf" rifle. The most completed I'm looking for is a unfinished stock that is inleted for the barrel and lock with the rod placement drilled. I don't have the tools for that and have never done the inletting on a black powder gun bigger than a pistol. I do plan on doing the patch box myself, and some custom carving. I'm also going to finish the barrel. Haven't decided yet between a deep polished blue...or maybe browning it. Thank you all for the help so far. I've been looking at Muzzle loader builders supply also, but Pecatonica River's site seems to be more "user friendly" for we that be novices
