is there any build it your self muzzle loader

Forty years ago I bought a Hawken kit from Cabelas and had a good time finishing it. You will have to be able to both finish the stock and the barrell as both are rough cut/finished. If you take your time and try not to rush the details you will end up with a nice finished product. I browned the barrell instead of bluing it and went with a medium stain on the stock. Not real sure of the finish I used for the stock but it is still holding up well. Mine is a .54 caliber percussion and using 120 grains of Pyrodex and a patched round ball it will reach out to 100 yards just fine. Sure is a lot more fun than an inline.
