Folks might remember last spring's project when I built a Kentucky cap lock:

Welp, https://www.muzzle-loaders.com/ recently had the same kit in a flintlock config on sale for $288 with $6 shipping. I'm a real sucker for sale prices and cheap shipping. So I figured "why not"? It was easy to justify. Heck, I'd built the kit already - this one should be easier. The cap lock is a nice shooter and it needed a twin. I didn't own a flintlock. Winter is coming. The beagles like the smell of cleaning BP. etc. etc. You can rationalize anything to yourself, right?
Anyway, the kit arrived today. Like last time it will take a couple of months to put this one together. But it's not hard. I already have plans in mind for a different look and finish. And, like before, I'm sure I'll be updating this thread with progress and new learnings as I get into the project...
Stay tuned...
