I saw a fuse lit rifle the other day on the Web and it is bent and kinda rounded at the bottom of the stock. It was really old but looked to be restored and looked like it would function alright. Very Interesting.

Sounds like a Jezail, Grizz.

I believe it's called a Matchlock from what I found on the web. It was first made in the 1400's.
Matchlock describes the ignition system. A jezail can be a matchlock.
If the gun didn’t look like this, do you remember what the the stock looked like? Was it curved down too sharply to hold against the shoulder?
Here is a matchlock jezail with a stock of the Sindh type, Griz. (From Northern India.)
Was it this type?
Was it this type?
