It is less than what I paid in parts for my kit. I also bought inlays and a brass patch box and a Grade 4 (lots of curl) stock. I've put over 100 hours into mine, and am still working on it (6 coats of wax on the stock and it's still not shiny yet). Very fun and very rewarding. If you buy a kit, keep us posted and I'll try to help where I can.
My next kit will either be a jaeger or a Baker or Hompesch (at least a composite from what I can tell from pictures).
If you want a half stock rifle for considerably less money, you can also buy a Lyman Great Plains flintlock rifle kit for about $231.72 (cat#LY6031114 for .50 cal and cat#LY6031115 for .54 cal). They're easy to put together. Finished rifles are only $281.16 (cat#LY6031105 for .50 cal and cat#LY6031106 for .54 cal) D&N Sports may be reached at
