This is a Pecatonica River southern mountain kit with cm4 curly maple stock and a small Siler lock . In a 45 cal . Fire blue hardware

Very good job!

Your lock panels are a bit large, TN rifles tend to have slender lock panels.

My version of the same kit stock from Pecatonica. Another thing I do is start a taper of the top lock panel from above the sear screw to gradually fade the wood into the stock towards the barrel. This way I don't have to cut a notch for the cock to travel in that will be visible.

You can see the fade out in this picture.

What is the barrel thickness across the flats on that .45? Looks like an inch in the photo. Chunk gun?

It’s a standard green mountain barrel. In a 45 straight oct.

Looks like 13/16" to me

Beautiful flintlock!

I used the TN rifle plans from TOW for my reference as well as looked at a ton of southern rifles over at the ALR virtual library.

Lots to look at;
