buttplates

[Mike Brooks]

That's a fine blunderbuss, it just depends on what period you want to represent. The one you just pictured ir post 1800, that's why it has no sideplate, they were out of fashion by this time. Earlier guns had sideplates. You can go stylistically with any british fowling piece of the period you want to build, they were mounted the same as the Blunderbuss's were.
