Well, have fun with it in any case!! Hopefully the Pedersoli lock fits snug into the stock (but not too tight) along with the new barrel. Does this new barrel have the sights on it? If you intend on shooting it, don't count on the barrel sights being dead on. That's when the fun time begins, making your own necessary adjustments. When I was a member of the N-SSA, one of the qualifying targets for 3 band musket was a clay pigeon at 50 yards on a cardboard backer and another was a 8"by 8" clay tile hung by a wire at 100 yards.
