Teal, be curious to hear your thoughts on how difficult it is to finish. Buddy has a good skill set and seems to get great results on them.


It's not hard for someone that has some experience using tools. Watch all the YT videos and try to take your time. Can be some frustration with alignment of pins and such. Take your time drilling the holes out and have extra drill bits on hand. Use the drilling guide as intended. Have a 1/16 punch to help with confirming pins are going where they are supposed to. I let pin push the punch out to make sure pin is going through the holes. I was trying for a darker finish on the stock and it came out a little darker than I was shooting for. It's my first flintlock and I am very happy with it. My percussion guns will take back seat for awhile.
