Can anyone point me to where I can purchase a set of drawings for the Edward Marshall rifle? I have a chambers kit on order and would like to have the drawings before starting the build.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
You want the drawings by Houston Harrison but they may be all sold out and no new ones available. Look at Jud Brennan's website. He posted fantastic detailed photos of the original rifle. There are many details of the Chambers and all other Edward Marshall kits that are not correct. The lock is the big problem. The original does not have an arc along the bottom like kits involving Chambers early Germanic lock or Davis' Jaeger lock. Neither of those locks will produce an accurate copy of the Edward Marshall rifle. Here is a link to a thread documenting an fairly accurate copy.

You need to scroll up and down to read the whole thread. Read it all because there is an immense amount of information provided.
