Custom made flintlocks

Hi, anyone know where a person might buy or have a Custom made flintlock built?

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Ken,

There are LOTS of good builders out there, but it really depends on what sort of gun you would like to have built. What is it that you're interested in? Feel free to PM me if you like.

This is a friend of a coworker. He is out of Berryville.

Caywood builds some nice guns, but they really aren't a custom builder. You choose one of the models they produce and then name a couple of options.

Nothing wrong with that at all, but there is a big difference between custom and semi-custom. Caywood, TVM, Garner, etc., are all semi-custom builders.

Not me, but I bet the folks in the TMA could point you right.

Another good one to talk to is Suzie Warren-Biccio of Muzzleloader builder's supply:

She's a real personable gal, and loves to talk guns. She shoots lights out, too, so if she shows up at a shoot and takes all the trophies home, don't say I didn't warn ye! :thumb:

I'll probably see her and her wares at Berryville this weekend.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the info.

Of course you realize that when that dandy new, custom-made jewel finally arrives, we WILL be expecting pictures and a full shooting report! :biggrin:

Just what sort of shootin' iron are you craving?
