I put together a Chambers flint pistol kit many years ago.  it turned out to be a sweet pistol.  Looks good and fun to shoot. (good thing I don't have to feed myself with it- definitley need a long site radius)

Elk Killer, are those small Siler locks that come with your kits?

I removed my posts on my bear pistol project, I realized I was hijacking your thread, which is inconsiderate on my part.
