Building a Matchlock

What is the best, if any, book(s) available about building a matchlock? In all of my websurfing I haven't found one yet.

Thanks

I haven't attempted to build one myself yet (I take the lazy way out and pay someone
else to do it :: ), so I'll let someone else chime in about the book. But welcome
to the forum! We do have this info on the pre-flint links page:

Building a matchlock

 

Thanks for the reply and the link. I had found that link but I was hoping for a book somewhat simliar to RECREATING THE AMERICAN LONGRIFLE. With my luck I am probably inquiring about something that doesn't exist yet.
Do you or anyone reading this post perhaps know of any matchlock blueprints similiar to the ones that you can find for Kentucky Longrifles?

Thanks

These folks mention plans available for $10 in their book section but no details - maybe they can help.

Thanks Liver Eatin Johnson...I shall see if that manual is still available.

I just received a copy of the manual from the infomagic site yesterday, and it is more than I expected for $10. It is a nice 11 page manual that walks you through the steps of building and 3 large sheets of drawings. I think it is more than enough info for someone to make one of these.
