Gun Building kit??
« on: March 27, 2012, 11:35:24 AM »
I'm looking to start a project with my 10 year old son.  I'm looking for a gun building kit.  It can be a display gun or real gun, i don't care about that.  Do you have any links you can share, tips or pointers??  Thanks!

Lyman has some blackpowder rifle/pistol kits.  They come with precut wooden stock, barrel, all the parts, predrilled and such.  You just have to do the fine work for sanding, the bluing, stock staining/finishing, any painting/checkering.  It came with the chemicals/stains/stock finish.  About $100-150 less than buying the assembled version.  I did one years ago in .54 cal rifle.  Is this the kind of kit you are looking for?

I may, if I don't find anything different.  I did see a lot of black powder rifle kits.  I was looking for more modern rifle/pistol or AK...  But I am open because I don't find much on-line so black-powder may be the way to start,  I did not want the first build to be super complicated.  Thanks JimmyH!
