I did actually pick up a cheap old CVA recently (Mountain Stalker) for $100. But after getting some advice from a black powder shooter (namely even not having Diktar on the barrel only shoot it at reduced loads), that I should get a black powder build kit. He mentioned that even for companies he didn't like such as Traditions, with a kit it eliminates most of the worry of bad assembly (and shops like The Possibles Shop and Track of the Wolf will back the products they sell). So I was wondering if people have any views on theses sets (left or right doesn't matter, and it's going to be a caplock).
1. Traditions Kentucky Rifle
2. Traditions St Louis Hawkens Rifle
3. Lyman Great Plains sets
Any others that are under $400 that you would recommend.
Thanks!
