I have never owned a flintlock, just percussion, so excuse theis question as pure ignorance.
Was it common for period small bores to have such large lock systems? That is a beautiful gun, but it seems the entire gun is "between the hands" so to speak. Most percussions I have examined seem to have been more scaled to bore from end to end. I wondered if this is due to currently available locks or if this is a trait of period guns too.
