My go-to rifle is a .45 Lancaster style flintlock. Maybe it's something along these lines you're thinking about. There is also a little .45 I use for targets/postal shoots/etc.

Hanshi, I've been checking the online auctions from time to time. Every time I find a .45 whether flintlock or percussion, the bids will go crazy towards the end of bidding. Really a .45 for hunting here in Colorado is probably unrealistic, but sometime you just have to have one.

Re: CVA Jukar .45 Kentucky style
It has been my experience that the Spanish & Italian barrels compare very well with American made barrels. That little rifle was built with parts from here and there and only the stock was built from a plank - unfortunately the builder has retired. The barrel has no ID markings, is 15/16" by 25". He did not know where the barrel actually originated, only that is is pristine and accurate. The lock was probably from some import and is a good one. It has a flat breech and the whole rifle is designed for kids and what he calls his "Rugrat" rifles; it fits me perfectly.
I guess what I'm getting at is that an old imported "parts rifle" with a decent bore would be a good start. The set trigger on mine is broken but the unset pull is nice and light. While it's beyond my ability to refurbish/build a usable rifle but it used to be possible for me to do so. It ]i]may[/i] be a good idea and rather inexpensive as well to go that route; I just don't know for sure. The only .45 I own that was cheaper but sensationally accurate is an H&A underhammer I bought going on 55 years ago. I've also owned and taken lots of deer with imports, some new and some indifferently assembled from a kit requiring a bit of work to function. Good luck at finding one at an honest and reasonable price; they are out there.
