Please provide where you prefer to buy your kits and rate the skill level required to assemble them (1-5). They offer services where they will do some of the harder assembly work for you to make the kit easier. Track of the Wolf offers kits that cover a wide range of skill sets. Some may build a level 5 rifle in much less time because they are very experienced. The estimated time to complete is based on your skill set and the tools you have to work with. Estimate likely more than 300 hours to build. Carving and engraving are often seen at this level. This is the ultimate in succeeding as a custom muzzleloader builder. Estimate 200-300 hours to build.ĥ – You begin with a blank chunk of wood, and select the barrel, lock, trigger, and all hardware yourself to match a period correct rifle that you are trying to duplicate.
Holes will need to be drilled and tapped. Breach plug needs to be installed to barrel. There is about 1/8” of extra wood that will need to be shaped on the stock to fit the barrel and all hardware to fit. The barrel will need dovetails cut in for the sights and lugs. The stock is shaped and inlet to 90% complete. Estimate 50-100 hours to complete.Ĥ – The kit is selected with parts that reproduce a period correct gun. Holes can be drilled and tapped, Tang and breach plug is connected to the barrel. Barrel can have some of the machinist work done, like dove tail cuts. Probably about 25-30 hours to assemble and finish the wood and metal to have a completed project.ģ– Stock not made on CNC machine so more work to fit parts. I would rate the Jim Kibler kits into this group. The inletting is 99% completed, likely with a CNC machine so that the parts fit very close. Probably 5-10 hours to finish the kit.Ģ – All the parts for the kit are preselected for you and are very close to fitting together with minimal wood removal. Cost for this option is higher because your paying for a craftsman to build the rifle. Need to be able to disassemble and reassemble and you get to select the color and look that the finished product has. This means that the wood and metal needs to be sanded or filed and then stained or blued or browned. Here is how I would rate the skill level required to build a muzzleloader kit on a scale of 1-5.ġ – The gun is fully assembled but is in the white. I would like to help these folks take the leap into this world by showing them that there are kits available for every skill set.
There are a lot of people that would love to build a muzzleloader, but are afraid to take on a project that they are not skilled enough to finish.
