Thank you, an actual video showing the steps.

As an update its held up pretty well using it about once a month, if I could do one thing over again I would not cold blue the barrel, but would find a heat activated browning instead.

Just picked up my kit today and am going to start this weekend! Yours turned out nice!

Bought one of these kits a few weeks ago, going to start it soon. I like what you did with the true oil, and no stain. I think I might do the same thing.

Thanks for the instruction. Nice looking rifle. You did a good job on it!

[@tannerzurkoski4660]

Thank you! It's held up well so far

I have a kit too, your video had a good pointer on it, thank you.

[@tannerzurkoski4660]

Glad it was helpful!

Cool video Would like more info

[@adammeredith7839]

Did your kit come with one barrel tenon or two?

[@tannerzurkoski4660]

It came with two, there should be two flat metal tabs on the bottom of the barrel for mortising. If you only have one I'd reach out to have them send you the missing one.

Good starter kit for a kid or for someone who wants to try building a kit gun. They're not the best quality kit out there. You get what you pay for.

@Nicholas Proietto my parents bought me the caplock version of this kit when i was 16 for Christmas (now 35). I built it and it still puts 5 shots in the size of a quarter at 75yards! I guess its not "what you pay for" but the builders time, efforts, patience, and skill. It inspired me to co to college for gun smithing after highschool. After the fact that ive built hundreds of rifles, shotguns, and handguns. I still take deer every year with this rifle! Its about craftsmanship that sets everyone apart. This is a simple easy build i would recommend for anyone!

I built one of their kits a couple years ago. Very poor quality kit I don't recommend it .I would buy something else
