I am just wrapping up my build of the worlds most expensive workbench/desk. For the inaugural project I am considering building a flintlock. This will most likely be my one and only rifle build. Although I’ll never say never. My question is, must I religiously follow the plans with a certain rifle in mind, like a ToW “kit” where you use the lock, stock, barrel and trigger combination for the gun of your choice. Or can I throw caution to the wind and pick the parts that appeal to me and put them together in a way I find satisfactory? Can I use a late English fowler lock with a Dutch trade musket stock and double set triggers, as an example?
I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention that I live in Bethlehem, Pa., on Main St., a block away from the Moravian Industrial Quarter was. On weekends you can go to the blacksmith shop and watch them forge tools while they explain things and answer questions. Located in the same building was the locksmith where the locks for so many of those old guns were made.
