I want to build a rifle from scratch but don't know where to get good blueprints, preferably for free, but under 10 euros is fine.

In particular I want blueprints for the Pattern 1800 Baker Rifle and the 1790s Long Land Brown Bess. Thanks.

sorry for bad english I'm using google translate.
 
Here is the Bess, I couldn't find the Baker plans. I have used these plans for other rifles and a fowler, they are not exact but good enough to make a rifle from.

I am making a cardboard pattern to cut out my fowler stock blank in this picture.

The finished gun I made from the plans is OK.

thank you, I have tried the trackofthewolf site but it adds massive shipping cost for me. it ends up being almost 40 euro.
 
it depends on what you are looking for? I have full size plans for a couple of rifles that Jon Schippers built that he gave out when you took his gun making classes. I had a full scale plan for a Christian Spring rifle but can't seem to find it. Also have plans for a bunch of Southern and Tennessee rifles. Have plan for a Hershel House rifle.
