    Forestock for 1816 Musket needed

    Does anyone have a source for a 1816 Musket Forestock? I need all of the wood forward of the bottom band.

    Joe,

    I think John Bly was making them. I got one of his Mississippi forearms through S&S once. He told me he made them for them. If he?s still doing it and needs a minimum order to set up to make them I would be interested in one also.
