Semisane, a longtime member on the HuntingNet.com black powder forum, decided to build a striker fired caplock of his own unique design that has the drum located underneath the barrel. And he wanted to be able to shoot patched round balls with it and also to be able to switch barrels too. He finally finished building it, mostly by hand and by using materials from the hardware store along with his own ingenuity.
Upon completion he named it the Swamp Dragon. And the first range report shows how amazingly accurate it performs.
The entire build was documented with photographs:

Here's the 1st range report:

Then he tried shooting some conicals with it:
