- I am starting a project to build a Bucks County style flintlock long rifle using a kit from Track of the Wolf. This project will take me quite a while, and I'll give you periodic video updates as the work progresses. In this video I'll show you exactly what come in the Track of the Wolf kit.

Watching this video 7 years later brings back good Memories. Learning from your build series to build my rifle.
Hi Mike, I allways know when I come across your videos, that I am going to see something worth watching, and i am going to learn something!
Thanks for posting 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 UP THE REBELS!
I read your article about this build in American Frontiersman magazine, and I must say, it turned out beautiful. I has certainly made me want to build a rifle. Thanks!
Thank you sir for your time and trouble! Your videos are great 👍 and I appreciate you taking your time to help us out!😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👏👏
This is great, thanks. I just found an old lamp, and it is made of an old Brown Bess! This thing is hundreds of years old. I've never messed with a flintlock, but this series is right on time for me. Many thanks.
This definitely gives new meaning to what a “kit” is
I've been planning on a kit from Track, so this is helpful.
love the detail on the table
Stepped sight. Brilliant!
I'm ordering a Bedford Percussion kit from TOTW to match one that has been in my family since the early 19th century.
I appreciate your input and I look forward to your videos. Thanks!
Looking forward to more videos of your progress as you build the rifle!
Great Video! Perfect for illustrating a kit!
That is nice .Keep up the good work
I just bought a thick silver sight from you to try on my Virginia Rifle...need it for my middle aged eyes.
good video. thanks for posting.
Figure about $800 for the kit. Hopefully you have the tools you need. If you're starting completely from ground zero, it will get expensive...Drill press, $100 to $300, Files, about $200 or so, Chisels, about $100 to $300 minimum...Wood working vise $100 to $200, machinist vise $50, bench vice $50...Prussian Blue and inletting black $15, Sandpaper $20 or so...scrapers $20 to $50...some misc stuff I'm not thinking of...it adds up.
Thanks for creating this series of videos. They're very informative. My brother put together a CVA Kentucky rifle some thirty years ago and although it was a rather simple beginner's kit, he and I shot it a lot and learned much about what was involved in building an 18th century rifle. We enjoyed the experience immensely. At present, I have a Lyman Great Plains rifle in fifty caliber. Could you do a video on the Santa Fe Hawken style of rifles? That would be great. Thanks again!!
That is going to be a nice project. A lot of work, but a nice project.
Very good video. I'm glad I watched it before ordering a kit from ToW because...damn. Might as well make all the parts by hand from scratch.
Gorgeous. I am having a Dickert built!
This is awesome! I'm looking to build one of TOTW's kits too and this shows me a lot of what I was wondering. Just wish you would have shown the stock prior to cleaning it up for the barrel, but this helps.
I can't wait to see the remaining video's on this build.
Looks like quite a bit of patience and skill will be, or was, needed for this build.
Thank you Martini Carbine for the advice.
Just discovered these videos'... great.
Cool, I will be doing one from TVM this winter
Hi Mike
I just want to say thank you for your time in building a gun. I bought a Northwest trade gun from North Star West and have had many of the problems you have encountered. which were resolved by watching your video. I know you used bedding glass on your project and I feel there are way to many discrepancies in my barrel to stock that I may want to glass the bottom of the barrel all the way to the tang. I too had to move my barrel back 3/16 to get proper alinement between the flash hole and flash pan. But when marking with in-letting black, nothing at the end of the barrel to the end of the tang is touching. They also give you a trigger for the era which has no metal base to attach the trigger to just slide it in and do something not sure what. blue prints are so vague your not sure what to do. I have looked up every thing in every book and no one talks about this kind of trigger. Just the ones with bottom plates to secure it. help. thanks for your time, Michael Andersen
I was amazed at how accurate traditional muzzle loaders are. I don't trust my skill level enough to build a rifle so I bought a 54 t/c hawken a long time ago. I know there are a lot of new modern muzzle loaders but to me it kind of defeats the purpose and there is no comparison as far as beauty. Have a great time with your build. I will be watching.
14:40 No good. lol Good call! German sight is nice looking!!
Thank you.
Hey, I enjoyed your latest article on the 1862 colt revolver. I think it was the latest anyways, didn't see a date.
The lock is excellent..very good sparker.
how do you like the quality of the lock frizzen and the iron work in general?
is the frizzen hard enough? does the lock work fine?
Thanks
No. Under federal regs it isn't a firearm. You might need to check how your state looks at them though.
I think that the skill level of shooting a longrifle, with the sort of sights they had then, was akin to the skill level of modern Olympic Archery!
You might say that Davy Crrockett was the equivalent of Jake Kaminski? 😊🇬🇧
Cuz I do mines with heat and I buy at the track of the Wolves the Browning compound that when you heat you use the brown chemical they have and it turns out pretty good or are you going to leave it blue
This looks like a great project, beyond my skill as I have never built a gun from kit. Can you recommend other kits that are perhaps "easier" for a novice?
starting from scratch after moving, what could I expect the cost for the tools and materials I would need to finish a kit like this?
Hey I sell those triggers! Chambers make an awesome lock.
😎
12:00 I sell that trigger guard as well. Not sure which it is E?B
That Lock looks as if it has been anodized?
Mike, these kits come with barrels that have not yet been blued. I like the look of the bare metal, could I just clearcoat the barrel?
In the 18th century, most barrels were left in the white, and just polished when needed.
@@duelist1954 so are you discouraging the clear coat ?
@@jackson4861 yes I am
@@duelist1954 what would be the procedure for “polishing when needed?”
@@jackson4861 0000 steel wool and oil
HOW COME YOU KICK THE TRACK OF THE WOLF FLINT IN YOUR OTHER FILM ?
TOW parts are "mostly" from Jim Chambers,they are very high quality.The Chambers "kits" are not 95% done.They are not really a Kit like T/C or Lyman,CVA,think of them as a collection of parts.
I have attended two Jim Chambers "kit" building classes and the first rifle I have 100 hours into it,the class was 40-45 hours. Nobody finished a rifle by the weeks end,you cant,many have built a dozen or more guns.These things take TIME. Be patient and go slow,you can turn out a GREAT shooting gun.
Do you do the brown the brown Plum on the barrel
Yes. With a cold browning solution
I'm a c&c fabricator and I'm thinking about building one of these do I have to follow NFA regulations? Barrel length etc?
im sure its waaaaaaaaaaay to late but no as its not technically a firearm
Not a gun at all. No NFA
can I buy this kit or do i need to get all the stuff
Check track of the wolf and see if they still offer it

My friend you're talking a lot and explaining a lot and I don't mind that but I would like to see you start working on the kit especially the wood because I have the same kid and I've already assembled all the parts but I want to see what kind of die do you use on this wood and I want to ask you if that's Maple curly
Check your mail box. Should be there already.
where would I be able to get locks?
track of the wolf sells them
I don't understand. Why are there two triggers?
It will shoot with the front trigger, but if the rear trigger is set the front becomes a "hair" trigger.
-Joe
I found I am better off with a carved stock blank and do my own insetting.
Can you just buy a blueprint set of patterns
Yes, ToW sells them
As a matter of fact I don't even see the second video of you assembling it all you are is explaining all the parts and no video on the assembly where can I find it
Seven hundred, sixty five bucks, county rifle kit.
heh, Mike said touch-hole.
I love your videos and your instructional words but you're really taking too long and explaining something that we already know so please go on with the video and let's see the assembly thank you
