Many years ago, 1956 to be exact, I bought a very old cap lock rifle in the Plains pattern. It has a half stock, shorter barrel, a Lehman (Lancaster) brass lock and took a .360 patched ball. I figured it was some sort of small game rifle. All of the hardware is brass except the forend cap which is pewter. It shot quite well.
Thirty years ago, it fell a long distance to a hard floor and the stock was splintered to smithereens and beyond all repair. I was sick, sick, sick when it happened, but I kept the remains all of these year.
Now that my shop if up and running and I have some time on my hands, I would like to make a new stock and bring the old girl back to life. There is enough of the stock left, for me to get the critical dimensions. Now the questions.
1. Where can I get a semi-finished stock for such a critter?
2. Where can I get the barrel "freshened" these days and times?
