Just as the title says on a fully round barrel/ tapered/ but round from breech to muzzle.
If using a flint "lock" what does the lock sit against do you just file a small flat for the lock to pull up against when you snugg up the lock bolts .
will this also be enough for the pan to mate too "seal" and then just drill the touch hole?
Im not building anything yet but I saw a nice 28ga fowler a guy had with a 50" barrel that was really a shooter- fellow won most of the local smooth bore matches when he was still shootin.
It was a nice gun I looked down it but never shot it it was very light considering its length!
Iv'e wanted one every since.

Generally there is a flat filed on the barrel for the lock bolster to mate with.

3/8" wide and 2 1/2" long make sure to get it 90 degrees to the top of the barrel
