Hello all I want to get into building my own guns, to recreate some older models because it's difficult to find Spanish Muskets now a days

. ANYWAYS I was looking for some points and tools that I'll need to get started. I'm in alabama and have some basic tools already but there some things I don't believe I have and I want to hear from experienced builders on what they use and what I would likely need. So I can create a list. I'm not aiming to exactly forge every little piece but I'd like to carve my own stocks, etc. As well as put together and fit the parts how I want. Like I said not sure I'll be forging the tangs and barrels or anything but still. Anyways thanks all!

I would suggest going on Rumble and looking up Bill Rabe he does like four hundred vids on custom builds

Thank you. I will definitely watch. I hope it can help me get some of these sought after models that people don't make (Escopeta)

The Maryland rifle and 4 Bore Rifle #2 series go into the most detail. The 4 Bore #2 series is not all posted on Rumble yet but about all that is left on it is the engraving. The Schuetzen rifle series is just getting started. The Maryland rifle series is complete on Rumble now. There is no Escopeta in there but they are all built mostly the same way.
