I have cap lock version. It is cute ,handy and look like a pirate gun. I haven't shot it for several years but I remember its sight are spot on at 50 yards. It has strange off balance feeling due to its short length when shooting off hand ,I has tendency to jerk a trigger . The two barrel keys makes cleaning as snap as the Hawken. The flint lock version look to be more fun .
 
thanks sandy4570 I was wondering with that short barrel and slow twist how good it would hold a group at 50yrds or abouts? plus I also am looking at the traditions Kentucky rifle with 9in more barrel at 33 1/2in barrel length and its slightly cheaper than the tennesee rifle but I love the looks of the shorter rifle but I also see I get more gun less money with the Kentucky rifle but it much longer overall, and the Kentucky has the same twist rate as the tennesee rifle but theres something about short rifles and I like the way they look...
 
well I just decided to go against the grain and go with the traditions Kentucky rifle being it has more gun less money as in 9in more barrel plus I like the looks as well on this one plus the other one as well infact I was hung up pretty hard between both models so seein how I already had two short rifles one long one will be okay. so now waiting on a certain store to get the kits back in stock so I can proceed forward and build this kit! but theres a possibility of ordering it already built but haven't decided that route yet...
 
Don't you like double barrel keys? It make cleaning barrel less hassle. But the long barrel does balance better shooting off hand. I also have old Cable's Shenandoah rifle and it is accurate fun Traditional looking rifle.
 
oh I love double barrel keys :) yep much faster and easier to take apart yep I that's one thing I wished the Kentucky did have! and theres something about both rifles I like infact I wished I had more funds to work with I would buy both models and then I could cover all bases...
