    Make one? Im assuming a fork on top of a pole, Few days ago i found & gave away a heavy iron boat rowlock, wont be hard to find another & modify, any half decent blacksmith could bash one out pretty quick.

    Yep had a look at a few sites and now it's been suggested it seems the obvious way to go.
    Thanks all.

    How wide & deep is the forend on the musket?, For sourcing a single old rowlock I would ask your nearest sea scout or sea cadet group, they are more likely to have an older type with the equal height arms laying about.
