.32 cal Mtn rifle, most economical components

[double hunter]

Wanting to build a .32 cal mtn rifle, where is the most economical kit (box of components) with a precarved stock

[Bill of the 45th]

Give Troy Roope a call at Stonewall Creek Outfitters a call.  His prices are as good as any, and he has most everything in stock.  He should be able to give you a .32 cal 3/4" Rayle barreled kit for a good price, and it's a top of the line barrel with a nice precarve.  Put a Chambers late Ketland lock with it and you have a great squirrel rifle.  Thats the cool part you can get exactly what you want, as you build your own kit.

Don't cut economic corners when it comes to the lock.

I was at Dave Keck's place today.  He has a precarved mountain rifle stock with a .32 green mountain barrel in it.   Wood has some figure but not alot.  I didn't take notice to the price he had on it.  Give him a call.   570-759-2053

Gillespie. Contact Dennis Glazener.  You won't be sorry.  As another has stated, don't scrimp on the lock.  I recommend Chambers Late Ketland.

This is going to be my first flintlock build, how about the Siler lock.

Use a Chambers Late Ketland.   It's one of the fastest and PC too.  Just as reliable, same price, and just as hard/easy to inlet.

Good lock & will work, but it is out of place on a Tennessee rifle. Use a Chambers Ketland. You can use it as-is or round the tail off & it looks like it should ion the rifle.
And it is a superb lock with a  Lifetime warranty.

I think you should call Pecatonica, get one of their Tenn. stocks with no inlet for the lock & put a Chambers Ketland on it..  Call Dick & talk to him & see what he has. Be better to wait & save a tad, if need be, and do it correctly & have better parts & rifle, than buy what is cheapest.  Cheapest always has cased me grief in the long run......

Just so there is no confusion, we are referring the the Chambers Late Ketland.  That would be period correct for the rifle style you are considering.  It is a superb lock as well.
