The answer is, a rifle is a rifle, a musket is a musket. Most Muskets were used by the military, rifles were used for hunting. To answer your question, yes, a rifle barrel can be fit to any stock, however the touch hole for a flintlock must line up correctly, or it will not fire. A Cap-lock however, needs to make sure the hammer contacts the nipple correctly.
