Anyone have a technical drawing of a 1st model brown bess barrel?

I have a friend that is a fantastic machinist and experienced in building larger cannons. We were talking about attempting to do a 1st model brown bess barrel. Does anyone have a CAD drawing or a drawing with enough detail I could make a CAD drawing with, just so we can look at it in more detail? Thanks

Hi,
I believe Track of the Wolf sells plans for an early long land Bess musket that may do the job.

What will be the source material for your gun barrel? You need a steel that is safe for use at the pressures generated by firing musket charges.

Too bad Britsmoothie and Squire Robin are no longer with us. I'm sure they could fix you up. Maybe the Pedersoli website can provide what you need.

Thank you all. I'm sure the steel type he may choose will be suitable. He is fsr more knowledgeable than me and has a lot of experience in the cannon building side of things.
