Anyone ever use one? I was eyeing their do-it-yourself rifle kit and the muzzleloading pistols they make. The prices are very reasonable. I was wondering if anyone knew what the quality was like. Thanks.

Ive got several Muzzle loaders and a cap and ball 1849 Baby colt dragoon revolver (repros) .... great guns for shooting socially

Most new repros on the US market are of good quality , some of the stuff imported in the past was crap though , still but what manufacturer are the guns your looking at ?

The name on the box is Traditions Firearms, but I dunno if they're Italian imports or not. They have a rifle kit for $260 and a .50 pistol for $179 that look pretty cool.

IF....you canfollow directions (I can't at times...LOL).....the kits will make for an excellent firearm. They will not look perfect, but will function nicely.:dude:

Sweet. Thanks guys. I'm thinking of picking them both up at some point. The pistol would be a fun shooter, and the rifle would be a fun project. They are both .50, so that helps.
