Thought came to me the other evening

A thought came to me, too...if I hadn't spent so much on muzzle loading stuff, I'd be driving a better car!

I think its cool, only thing better would be a Bullpup flintlock

I like it. Does anyone know where I can get a rifle stock, inletted
for a TC Patriot lock and trigger. I think, No.

You guys talked me into it, enablers! Rounded up a nose cap that should work, old cast trigger guard that will take some fitting. Buttstock end piece is standard. I'll figure something out for a toe kick.

Currently I am just thinking a simple band right behind the nose cap for a little extra strength in barrel/stock attachment.

although I haven't decided if I will continue with it or not. Total length would only be about 24 1/2" or so. No reason other than fun.

Back when I played with it i thought about cutting down the 2 piece stock to make a full stock "carbine". Seeing this pic makes me wonder if i could open it up to 15/16 for a 54 barrel, i do have a spare stock in the closet

It’s not a problem for those of us who have no hair, but if you’re proud of your flowing locks, beware the bullpup flinter…

"Currently I am just thinking a simple band right behind the nose cap for a little extra strength in barrel/stock attachment."

Just add an under lug and pin.

Here is a pix from @Flanders ad for a ".50 Jackie brown short rifle".
Going in this direction?

Different! I've been staring at the photo trying to figure out how to attach the barrel........

Front barrel band like on a Trapdoor Spring field contoured to the top three flats and thin enough to be under the sight picture. Easy to make and solid as rock !

Some original European guns were done up similarly



Or you could cut the butt short too and have something like the Ottomans and the Cacucasians
