I'm looking for a suitable gunmaker to produce a heavy 18th century style, iron-furnished flintlock wall gun. Grateful for any suggestions.

The Rifle Shoppe? NEVER buy the castings!
A) Ask if they have all the parts for the whole kit and only buy it if they say "yes" otherwise I assure you it will be years and you won't have an idea how many... And then don't believe them anyway -- they make mistakes, lie, and realize that parts they have are broken after they physically check. You hope.
B) Buy ONLY an assembled lock -- it is THE ONLY WAY YOU ARE ASSURED YOU WILL GET ALL, AND THE RIGHT, PARTS! Don't worry, you'll still have to work on the lock becasue it won't be finished, just be barely assembled -- consider it part of the basic cost. Insurance!
