    Where do you get scale blueprints for rifles?

    I want to build a rifle from scratch but don't know where to get good blueprints, preferably for free, but under 10 euros is fine. In particular I want blueprints for the Pattern 1800 Baker Rifle and the 1790s Long Land Brown Bess. Thanks. sorry for bad english I'm using google translate.

    Cleaning- Help

    Let me preface this by saying that I’m an ***** and new to this. I left my musket with someone for around a week, and it rusted a lot. While cleaning the rust, there is black discoloration, seemingly raised on the gunmetal, that won’t come off. Am I stuck with this? Thank you for humoring me.
