Strawhat, reminds me of the old 20's and 30's movies that featured flintlocks but used the trapdoor rifle. Looks like you used a 1841 type stock to make up your trapdoor. Nice work. Frank

I used an Italian replica of the 1841 Mississippi for the basic parts.  I wrote about it in this thread.

Strawhat, ah patience and perseverance has paid off. Me I'm one of those folks who seem to get something started and then loose interest. Except for a couple projects. Think you really did a nice job. Frank

  This is a converted Hopkins & Allen falling block shotgun , now a 50-70 cartridge gun.
 The barrel is permanently silver soldered into the receiver and the take down screw is also permanetly fastened into the barrel shank. The rifle functions very well and is accurate.
 The picture quality is not good, the stocks look beter than the pic shows.          Jedman
