Description


The Traditions™ Flintlock Kentucky Rifle Kit offers hunters, shooters and muzzleloader enthusiasts alike a great opportunity to build their own piece of American history. The rifle that would become known as the “Kentucky Rifle” was first crafted during 1730 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and saw use by hunters and frontiersmen for decades. The Kentucky Rifle would even see use during combat throughout the French and Indian War as well as the American Revolutionary War. The Kentucky Rifle was one of the first commonly used rifles in America during the mid to late 1700s and is one of the most popular reproduction rifles in circulation today.

Traditions has crafted the Flintlock Kentucky Rifle Kit to be an accurate representation of the classic rifle and have integrated key features and upgrades to enhance the utility and performance of the muzzleloader for hunters and shooters alike.

Beginning with the stock the Kentucky Rifle Kit features a beautiful hardwood two-piece stock that comes bleached and ready to accept the stain of your choice. The furniture on the stock is composed completely of brass including the nose plate, ramrod barrels, stock connecting plate, trigger guard, and butt plate. The brass furniture in tandem with the hardwood stock gives the rifle a classic historical look that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for use in the field once completed.

The .50 caliber barrel of the rifle measures 33.5 inches and comes as an unfinished carbon steel barrel that will accept either a blueing or browning process to protect the exterior of the barrel from rust and corrosion. The rifling is set at a 1:66 twist rate that is ideally suited for shooting .50 caliber patched lead round balls and offers great accuracy out to 100 yards.

In addition to the great features already listed the Traditions™ Flintlock Kentucky Rifle Kit features a case hardened Flintlock ignition assembly, authentic wooden ramrod, and fixed blade iron sights.

The Kentucky Rifle created a lasting legacy of dependability and accuracy that has been passed down throughout the generations and continues to this day in the Traditions™ Kentucky Rifles. Own your own piece of American history by adding the Kentucky Rifle to your collection today.

Fun and Doable

I’ve never done a muzzleloader kit before, and while I think I should have started with something a little easier, this one was very doable. The hardest part was probably drilling the holes for the barrel tenon pins. The kit is unfinished enough that you get to do a fair amount of work, but not so unfinished that you have to do anything crazy. It’s pretty expensive, but when I looked around at other websites, this was about the most reasonably priced flintlock kit I could find.

Bought it as a gift

Arrived on time and well packed. Bought as a gift and will not be assembling it but looks well made and useable.

Somewhat challenging kit that allows you to be creative

Since this is an unfinished kit you can be creative with it. I was particularly interested in the unfinished wood. I drew images all down the wood on both sides and inlet some real 1800's coins. I like the finished product!

Traditions Kentucky Long Rifle Kit

Really enjoyed the kit and resulting completed rifle.
My only constructive criticism is would like to see more expanded details in the instructions

Fun build and accurate shooter

This is my first build and it was very easy. Once I finished it, I took it out the next day and it was dead on (I got lucky mounting the sights, zero adjustments needed).
