Here's a toy version that may be a good start. If you just want a fun costume, this seems like a cheap way to do it. I had one like this when I was a kid, it's too short to be a long rifle, but it's closer to musket size.
RIFLE, KENTUCKY LONG
Depending on how much money you have, a real, firing one might be better for reenacting. Most reenactments I've seen involve firing the guns with just powder to give the effect of an actual battle. With a pep made gun, you can't do that. I feel like you might put a ton of work into making a pep gun, only to find that it isn't good enough for reenacting.
Just some thoughts.
Thanks for the info. I looked at that kentucky rifle and read the reviews with people saying they received them broken, cracked, etc. Plus it looked too toyish. But thanks for searching for that for me. Im not interested in reenactments (yet), so an actual black powder is not a consideration. Even in kit form. I was looking for more of a full size realistic replica, just for looks. Thats why i asked if someone had a 3d cad model that i can pep with resin. I foubd a few on line, but they were horrible. But i really do appreciate the time you took to find those for me, and the information.
