What is a good list of chisels and gouges to have when doing relief and incise carving on a flintlock stock?
 
Small small small for inletting. I use UJ ramelson, dockyard are great, micromark, flex cut etc.

For roughing out a blank i use larger tools, rasps, Japanese rasps etc.

Gouges in sweeps from 3 or 4 to 11 in widths of 3-4 mm. Straight chisles from 2mm-10mm. V gouges in 60 and 90 degrees. I prefer Pheil or Two Cherries brands.

I guess I need to clarify. I need to know specific sizes of gouges
 
This is what I refer to when looking for specifics, look around there is a massive amount of information, lots of the links are broken but you can get the gist of it. Workshop Frames
 
If ya could contact Jim Kibler@ kiblers long rifles I'm sure he could help ya out!!
I have his book it lists his sizes he uses but I’d like to get more info from other people before I make a decision so as to make a more informed decision.
