    Brian LeMaster was a very young builder in 1992. Today he is a very fine builder and restorer. Thom

    Most popular caliber

    Something I always keep in mind when designing a build is that the larger the bore, the lighter weight the barrel is. Not a determining factor by anymeans, but something to be aware of. Thom

    Wheellock Question

    Thank you so much for the explanation of superimposed loads.So the surviving pieces that I see were perhaps items made for royalty and the elite and not really utilitarian pieces? It seems that I see so many in collection photos. All very ornate and highly decorated Thom

    Wheellock Question

    Okay, I did some googleing and I am still not sure what a superimposed load is. I know I have seen some diagrams and explanations and I believe superimposed loads fire from the same barrel. How is it loaded?

    Wheellock Question

    I see so many museum photos of wheellocks with two or even three locks. Sometimes a wheellock and matchlock. Are these just for backup as the mechanisms are not reliable? I very much like this forum. Maybe my first post, but I'm here daily Thom
