Hi Josh,
I think you have got it. Marc's suggestion about the side walls of the barrel inlet is a good one. I typically show 50-60% of the barrel flat above the wood. By doing that, you slim down the wood forestock making the rifle look thinner. Two relatively trivial details that you might want to know about Beck rifles but they are not very important. He usually anchored the muzzlecap with 2 rivets, one on each 45 degree flat in the barrel channel. He also usually attached his forward ramrod thimble with 2 pins.
Good luck,
dave
