I recently got this little old (presumably Chinese)iron cannon that I assume was a hand cannon of some sort. It is 9" long, and 2.75" wide, bore is about 31mm.
Given it's resemblance to European hand cannons, I'd like to set it in a Euro style stock (just for display, I'm not going to shoot it). I also want the stock to be attractive, and am inclined toward those that look more like traditional stocks rather than tillers. For example:
So here are some sketches. My inclination is toward "B", but I think it might be slightly too modern in appearance for a gun of this type. Does anyone have any opinions or critiques about what I've drawn up so far (such as one being more accurate than the other, or perhaps they're all wrong wrong wrong for reasons XYZ), or about this kind of gun in general?
