« on: January 25, 2017, 04:37:56 PM »
   Since I plan to do my 1st kit build later this year I've been using books etc.Today perusing the internet I saw Cabin Creek Muzzleloading is about 30 minutes from my house.The website is impressive and the kits look great.Any of you guys build any of their kits.I feel quite fortunate come build time that both Cabin Creek and Dixons are within an hour drive.
Thanks,
 Scott

Wonderful folks to deal with, and top quality "kits"    Brad is an extremely talented and knowledgable guy.  The only comment I have is that Chambers has a better variety of locks vs kits.  Cabin Creek as pretty much standardized on Siler locks

You can't be terribly far from me, then. I'm about 15 min from Dixon's.

I'm between Cabela's and Dixon's.

Bummer you can't make it to Lewisburg. That's the place to be for sure, but July is coming, and with it Dixon's fair. ;)
