What Percussion Rifles would be PC ?

[Kaintuckkee]

I am thinking about building from a kit a percussion longrifle I am thinking maybe a Tenn style poorboy or southern type rifle or maybe others that would be "correct"  so to speak,your input appreciated

Kentuckies of every era and location were made as or converted to percussion. So anything can be percussion.

If I were building a percussion rifle it would have a good patent breech.

Jake and Sam made a number of patent breech longrifles that were essentially Kentucky rifles though made in St Louis.

Like Dan said, most any style longrifle can be made as a percussion, although most were made, or converted, with a simple drum and nipple, and not a patent breech.

If you look through the TOW catalog, you'll see several locks with the same plate, and made in both flint or percussion for those modern sort of conversion rifles.
