Well I've had my fun over the years with holy-black & caplocks, but I'm feeling the need to venture back to the 1700s & get a flinter. Though I'd love to just dump some $$ on a pristine reproduction & make smoke, budget is kind of tight so I'm hoping to build something & save a few bucks. I'm not set on a smooth bore, rifle or pistol, so anything goes within a low budget. Is it possible to strike the frizzin for under $500 bucks?? Kit vendors? Thanks for any ideas!
