Making a Black Powder Revolver Shoulder Stock

Making the stock won't be nearly as difficult as figuring out how to safely attach it to the pistol grip.
And maybe staying out of Gaol, since you may now be in possession of a controlled substance.

Not with a C&B. You can pretty much do what you want with them. Methinks finding the hardware would be the hardest part.
 
It can depend on the state of residence.
Some treat cap and ball revolvers the same as modern ones.
Best to check rather than get a nasty surprise afterwards.
 
1) Part of the recoil shield on both sides have to be milled away
2) A stud (screw) needs to be installed on both sides of the frame
3) Bottom of the grip must be milled.

I would think he already had all that. Would hope so anyway.
 
Opps. Hawg you're right.

In that case, I'd reverse engineer one. Find a jeweler to cast the metal parts or if you have access to a scanner and a CNC mill, scan & mill.
 
It realy depends on the on the brand and model. Pietta offers them as an accessory and they were common on 1860 colt clones.
 
This company sells them for $200:

You might try gunbroker to find one cheaper.

As far as making one... try Taylor's Firearms for the metal parts then use whatever stock you have floating around.

Might be able to adapt a repro- Hi Power or Luger shoulder stock. Cut a locking groove in the back strap of the frame? Might look kind of steampunk.
