I have started building a Tudor period match lock sporting gun, just for a fun, as parts are easily made in my forge. I have had a barrel turned up by a mate from carbon steel hollow bar, it is about .50 and mirror finished. Breech plug made from a grade 8 bolt , threaded 9/16 UNF 18 tip. Stock I have roughed out of a plank of Western Australian Jarrah, the lock was given to me by a mate in NZ, he forged it up in the 1970's. This is my first major project.
