I built a few of those old kits. I haven't seen any of them in years.

I believe you are thinking of the old LS series of 1/1 gun kits....
LONG out of production as far as I know...... haven't seen them in a shop since I had real teeth.
You may find some on E-Bay..... but beware you'll need a second morgae to buy one.

If those are the same kits that I remember, I had a flint lock pistol of some type, built and hanging on my bedroom wall. I wish I could go back in time and keep myself from throwing away all of my old kits!!
