Well, I did other kits both from TC back in 1978. I put yours #1 but you took some of the challenge out of building the kits. The southern mountain rifle came out great, now all I have to do is fire it. Every product you recommended was excellent. I didn’t use the tannic acid, but I will next time.Oh yea there will be a next time!You keep doing what you’re doing,because you have a great product. Thanks again!
👍!! As always, what more can I say.
Only problem I have is the pre-drilled hole is hard to find. A solid piece no hole would be easier.
High Quality kit, super easy to assemble, very fast lock ignition
