Thank you.
I built it from available parts and a stock blank. Mostly wood work and a minimum of metal work.
It should be correct for a rifle from the 1750's.
I visited a number of museums, taking photos of a variety of guns from that era to come up with this one.

Getting the measurements correct was interesting and the gun continues to be a work in progress. Each year I add something new to it - mostly to cover up mistakes from when I didn't know better.
The barrel is around 70cm, and it weighs around 3.5kg.
