From those with some experience:
If one wanted to attempt to make a custom "repro-original" musket (for example, using a Dunlap stock, Whitacre barrel, and repro and original lock/hardware)...
1) Would a US M1861 be a good starting piece?
2) What (if any) specialized tools, skills, etc. would be required to complete one's first project?
3) What might be the likelihood of success making one's first '61 like this?
Why am I asking?
Well, you see, I have this "friend" who is thinking about trying it. I want to try to give him some good advice. :wink_smil
