Haven't heard anything lately about the Mountain Rifle Kits. Anyone have any updates?

Things are going well and they're flowing out the door at a pretty good rate.  Things are good, but we're continually tying to find ways to make things faster and better.  We had a kit building class at the WKU Gunsmithing Seminar that went really well.  In addition, we've seen a lot of nice results from other customers.  Thanks for the inquiry and if you have any questions at all, just ask.

I just helped a friend  that had never built a gun before put his together. Using my shop and working about 6 hours per day , he had it stocked out in 4 days, that includes changing the side plate and adding a toe plate. He has taken the gun home to brown and stain. .40 with walnut stock. 

I have buit over 100 muzzle loaders and have never seen a pre-carve as well done as this kit.everything went together without a hitch.

No additional styles in the works right now.  In time....  Our focus right now is to fill all the present orders and to continually refine the production process.

Curly .32 inbound as of yesterday!!!  Got the call.  If it is half as good as everyone has said, will have a walnut 36 on order soon.
