Good free sources for DIY muzzleloaders?

(1/4) > >>

FilipT:
Like it says in the name of the thread, what are good and free sources I can use to design my first muzzleloaders? I have will, I have wood, basic tools, power tools, etc.

I would like to make matchlock musket, similar to this:

I am pretty good a finding stuff on the net but couldn't find any blueprint type drawings for a matchlock, there are plenty for other early rifles. There are some Utube videos and a few basic buildalongs but not much else that I could find.

FilipT:
Cool pictures, interesting how there are so few references for matchlocks. I would make a flintlock but it seems more complicated to me and not something I would successfully make at first attempt.

Email sent.
