I have a 42 inch long, 1 inch breach  60 cal strait tapered barrel and i am looking for a gun to build that would have this barrel and be historically correct. Any ideas

Sounds like a Hawkin full stock.

  If you can get a look at " Kentucky Rifles & Pistols 1750-1850"  by Golden Age & J. R. Johnston There are many examples of fine rifles that give barrel shapes and caliber. Might help you out..

Maybe a matchlock musket?
