What an awesome video, man the progress pics of the build are wicked cool but the best part is the looks on the kids faces with the smiles, man hats off to ya for bein a good dad and thanks for sharing!
Your attention to detail is worthy of any builder. My hope is that before your kids grow out of this gun the love for flintlocks and shooting will be a part of them. Then this gun can be passed to one of their kids.
Great job! You should make kids guns for a living. No one else is and you would have the market to your self. We would all like to buy one for our kids or grandkids. A lot of us don’t have your skills or talent to make them. By the looks of it you have two more to make first. Cheers
Thank you. Parts are $1100 , I'd need $2500 for a gun which I don't people would want to spend maybe a few, I don't think that it would keep me full time.
It was a small one I found at the 18th century artisan show in Carlisle, PA last year. I think it was dated from a style guard from the early 1800s but I liked the size and shape for a kid's gun.
@@bkauffman0390 could you please tell me the length of the trigger area and the grip frame. that would give me enough information to make one for myself If I cant find one for sale.
@@bkauffman0390 I was able to find a trigger guard and Butt plate in German silver at muzzleloaders builder supply. that is going to be one more project for me to do.
@@Nick-wn1xw I guess it's a matter of perspective. Maybe I shouldn't have said it like that, it's a lot of money spent for a gun they will out grow. I plan to build each of my kids a gun once they are adults
Brian is a skilled wood worker. My son and I am lucky enough to have a bow he build for use. Awesome seeing he makes flintlock now
@brandonlowe5706 thanks Brandon.
I have built 9 since 2020. Rally burned out of bow building after 57 in 2 years

Thanks a lot! Glad you can appreciate the videos 😄
Hey Brian! THAT will be a treasured Family Heirloom that will be passed down for many generations to come! Well Done!
That's really cool! They will cherish that rifle for a long time.
Keep the tradition going!! Awesome gun!!
Great job. I like the fact we can build guns not specific to any style or school.
Excellent video. Well done
Great job on the 36 Brian!

Very nice job 👏 👍
Outstanding keep it up. Get the next
Amazing work!
You're getting to be a real good gun builder Brian.
Thanks a lot
That's pretty cool, I bet your kids were excited to get that. Kids grow up fast, make the most of it.
Cute kids. Great build.
But...REALLY cute kids!!
Awesome job

Buy in bulk to keep the price down. You could start doing it part time, after work. Make kits. Just like Jim Kibler. It’s just a thought.
Man that is so cool 👏
That will mean soo much more to your children being made by your hands.
That’s awesome! Imagine what you’ll build with JK’s tools 😜👍
News travels fast lol
I told Jay we need to get a lathe and rifling machine and get to making barrels.... There's a market 😁
beautiful kids! they must look like their mom? LOL, VERY NICE GUN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
that is beautiful work. there needs to be more kid sizze guns out there keeping the sport alive. where did you find the trigger guard?

@@seantierney3 I made this one with an 11 3/4" LOP

I've always wondered why more people didn't do this.
Probably because it takes the same time and money, ($1000 approx) and they will grow out of it .
It's not a wise investment.
@@bkauffman0390 I disagree my friend. You invested this in your kids and that is always a wise investment!

@@bkauffman0390 I hear you. I think you'll forget the expense once you see them fully enjoying it. And the next one. And the next.....
