Hi,
I know they are a bit expensive but Jim Chambers (www.flintlocks.com) makes some beautiful kits. I have his York County in 45 cal with a Rice barrel (his recommendation). I haven't had time to get to it yet, but the parts are beautiful and compatible with the French and Indian wars (well, maybe at a stretch) and the Revolutionary period.
Jim has used his for hunting mule deer and turkey with some success.
I also shoot a T/C Hawken with a drop in Green Mountain barrel. It's a percussion cap but a lot of fun. No hunting yet but some target. Love the annual chunk gun competition.
