I'll probably use Sharps lock parts from Dixie as well as the Sharps lock is very similar to the Burnside's. There are a few fiddly parts that could be made the innards will not be seen and I'm not going for an absolute reproduction.
I did want to build a Burnside but I got sick with cancer and have no energy or brain to work with. I have built more than 30 rifles and handguns.. One of the best hobbies I ever had and to win a shooting match with what you have built yourself is an awesome experience that I wish everybody could have. I very much want to see this job in progress and I'll keep coming back to this forum if work on the Burnside continues.
