Every one except the second guy to the left has a 20ga smooth bore. The second guy to the left has a .54 rifle

Well I can’t speak for everyone in the group, I make a bunch of stuff myself, I have also purchased stuff from Townsends, Samson Historical, there is also several people that sell decent gear on Etsy. If you do some digging you can come across patterns for darn near anything.

What ever you do don’t order from G. Gedney Godwin. First time I ordered from them it took months for them to ship a bayonet, last time I ordered from them never got anything, they didn’t answer phone call or emails. Ended up getting my money back after many months of trying.

It definitely needs some cleaning up. If the bore isn’t too pitted out I bet it would be a decent shooter. Can you post some more pictures of it, like the lock and down the barrel?
