I have "Thoughts On the Kentucky Rifle in its Golden Age" by Joe Kindig, Jr. I think it's one of the best, but that's just my opinion.

Are you talking about the lock itself or the gun???

The gun. From the Jaeger to the plains rifle.
A good general coverage is found in,Mark Meredith said:
"THE PENNSYLVANIA-KENTUCKY RIFLE" by Henry Kauffman.
Another good book on the subject is,
"The Kentucky Rifle" by Captain John G. W. Dillin
These are both older books but they represent the best knowledge at the time they were published.
Since then, there has been some disagreement with some of the points and conclusions the authors reached but generally speaking they both do a fine job of covering the history and features of the American longrifle.
