Traditions™ Trapper Pistol Flintlock Kit is for those do-it-yourself hunters or shooters who want to gain a true hands-on experience by building a pistol themselves. Easy to read instructions guide you through the building process to a beautifully finished product.
The Traditions™ Trapper Flintlock Pistol Kit is styled after the single-barreled pistol proudly carried by early mountain men, trappers and traders as their weapon of choice. These pistols proved to be extremely reliable. That same reliability was essential for a trapper who might have to stake his life on his pistol’s ability to provide a back-up shot in what could be a dire situation.
The Trapper pistol’s primitive-style adjustable rear sight, octagonal barrel and double set triggers, capable of firing set or unset, allow the shooter to predictably put his shots on target. The Traditions™ Trapper Pistol is a .50 caliber flintlock model with a 9.75" octagon barrel and handsome select hardwood stock. The Trapper is patently compact and easy to maneuver at only 15.5" in length. The pistol requires 5/8” hand knapped flint (flint sold separately).
There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than knowing you built a fully functional pistol for shooting or display. Relish stepping back into the past by building a Traditions™ Trapper Flintlock Pistol yourself.
