Thinking about a take-down flintlock to fit on a backpack or in the box behind the seat. Obviously would be a half stock. Probably octagonal to round because that outside angular profile of the barrel offers superior alignment with the stock. Anybody ever seen one? Have any ideas on a production flinter that would be suited to modification?
Tentatively was thinking about the Deerhunter, .50 cal. has a 7/8" barrel that could be turned octagonal to round to trim a little weight. The stock is black plastic and could be hollowed out if wanted. The lock is quick and extremely reliable. The barrel attachment could be modified to be hand tightened and retained by the stock.
Hee hee...my better 2/3's would probably look at it and say I couldn't put her Eotech on it.
