Patterns/blueprints

[Tennessee.45]

I’m looking for a pattern, or a blueprint for an early Bethlehem, or Christian Springs school, what do y’all use and where do you get them from?

Thanks in advance

Pretty sure TOW has me.

Maybe I’m not looking in the right place, but I’m not seeing anything for early Bethlehem or Christian springs rifle...

The "Edward Marshall" rifle.

Get it while you can. I'm under the impression that the Harrison drawings are now out of print (?).

Eric's plans are excellent! Usually gives example of available parts as well.

I made a very nice Rupp from a picture in the book
"thoughts on the Kentucky rifle"....kinding. I like
this pattern/picture as much as Lancaster and the
Yaegers. I make my own patterns from a picture in
a book. All you really need is a profile...

I've built several from photos as well.
Photos are a must, BUT, there are a lot of detail that you just can't get from a two dimensional photo.
A good drawing will give you dimensions and proportions you can't get from a photo.
A lot closer to having the gun in your hand than just a photo.

I know that. But it is better than nothing. I am
able to fill in all the lacking information after
all these years. Try making a wheel lock. The left
side is flat.....I just do the best I can.
