Oh, silly me .
I misinterpreted Rikkn's question on this one.

As both pistols have a set trigger and because of the separate butt these are certainly no duelling pistols but are made for the shooting range.

Naturally; neither the mounting stock would be applicable.That would be cheating .
On the other hand, such 'composite' set only for target shooting, is a bit unorthodox, don't you think ?

Why not shoot with the stock attached? It certainly depended on the rules given at the range and the kind of competition - the same as today

The way i view it, one either enters a shooting contest for the hand guns discipline or for that of the shoulder arms or, if he registers for both, he would take with him distinct equipment to the shooting club. I never thought of a competitor enter a tournament for target pistol and later in the day switch to a musket shooting session by adding a stock extension to his pistol/s.
But make no great deal of what i am saying; i may be talking nonsense .

[corrado26]

That's no nonsense, tha's correct
