They have kits for flint and percussion. Prices go from 350 to 1200 for the rifles. Dales advice is good. The Critical part is the breech plug installation into the barrel. This can be tricky and unsafe if improperly done. Some kits have this already installed. The other tricky part is in inletting. This is fitting the wood to the metal parts. choose a kit that is 90+% inlet then the final work is minor chisel work, carving and sanding. An uninlet stock will take a massive amount of handwork and new tools. You might want to consider a pistol kit as it takes up less space and slightly less work.
