I finished that Kentucky Rifle Kit from Traditions. I think it came out alright for my first one.

That's a very nice looking ghost gun. Probably better-made than most authentic period percussion rifles (there's no question but that it's made from better steel). Yorta be proud to say you made it, I sure would be.


No 4473, no NICS, no serial number, it runs on fuel you can make at home if the world as we know it comes to an end, and it's deadly to hundreds of yards. Me likkey. In fact it should go in my Ease of making D-I-Y guns negates all Gun Control arguments thread.

Thanks. Yeah, it's the government's fault that this ghost gun exists though. If they didn't put the entire country on house arrest for the last 7 months, I wouldn't be bored looking for projects to do.

But yeah, I learned a lot while making it (most of those lessons came the hard way) and I know I can make a better one now. I do want to get a Ghost Gunner and make modern guns at home. But it is $2200 for the new model (when it's released).

I found an interesting site that can get us through the "primer scare" https://sharpshooter-22lr-reloader.m...iming-compound You can pretty much use that stuff to "reload" spent primers.

Thanks. It was a fun project. Next time I'm going to try to brown it instead of a cold blueing.
