    Tim,

    Not sure of your time frame but you might start out looking for:

    Firearms from Europe by David Noe, Larry W. Yantz and James B. Wisker

    British Military Longarms 1715-1865 by D. W. Bailey

    British Military Firearms 1650-1850 by Howard L. Blackmore

    The British Soldier's Firearm From Smoothbore to Small Bore 1850-1864 by Dr. C.H. Roads

    British Military Flintlock Rifles 1740-1840 by DeWitt Bailey, Ph.D.

    Some of these are out of print and will be quite pricey if you can find them. Good Luck

    Wow....Thank you, that was quick!

    I ordered the following.....

    British Military Longarms 1715-1865 by D. W. Bailey

    British Military Firearms 1650-1850 by Howard L. Blackmore

    It wasn't too bad $67 shipped. I think this will give me a start. Again....many thanks!
