Given your list of what you are looking for I would personally be looking at a Jaeger. A short 32 inch barrel, full stock in .54 caliber would sound like what you are looking for.As others have said water proof locks aren't water proof. There is NO reason to remove the barrel to clean it. Patent breeches and flint locks can create problems all there own. Personally I hate the deep crescent butt plates the flat butt plates of the Jaeger are much easier to shoot.Check out Pecatonica Long rifles. there precarves take a lot of the grunt work out but you will still have all the finish shaping to do. I would not order one with the lock inlet from them. They will also do a blank with the barrel and ramrod if you want. in my opinion I have always gotten better wood from them than I paid for. A straight barrel isn't that hard to inlet. I did a post a while back on the jig I use to do straight barrels. I think I posted it on here.
