    Matchlock rifle

    I asked about this before, but can't find the post.
    I'm wanting to build a matchlock rifle.
    That's a matchlock that has a rifled barrel.
    Anyone build a matchlock before?????
    Suggestions on where I can get a barrel?????

    The barrel you are going to have to Adapt from a barrel Blank.
    I remember that post too.
    I wrote about one I built when I was a Kid.

    A friend built his own but used a smooth bore he got for next to nothing.

    But, he also built a handgun with a fuse instead of lock so I can't verify his sanity
