Having assembled the caplock version, I much prefer flintlocks. So after selling the caplock I bought the flintlock kit version, also a .50 calbier. Relatively easy assembly, no real issues. Some LMF walnut stain and Permalyn clear coats, done deal. Pulled off the breech plug and vent liner, lubed both with anti-seize and reassembled. Instead of using the supplied iron sights I retrofitted a set of Lyman SML57 rear micrometer peep and front #17A globe. Not a bad little rifle ... if only they, like almost all other commercial production trad muzzleloaders, would stop using that damn patent breech plug, what a pita to maintain.
