    Wheelocks from the rifle shoppe?

    Snooterpup: Bolek actually rebuilt a TRS Dutch Wheellock mechanism I had because it wasn't designed properly. Now she works great and Bolek didn't recommend the TRS locks because of their poor geometry. From personal experience, I'd have to agree.

    How where medieval handgonnes realy used?

    Manson: Do you mean like for reenacting the period? There is a video on that at As for at the range I use a standard loading measure for the powder and use my possible box to hold all of my equipment needed for the day. I prefer to only light the slow match on the linstock just...

    Matchlock & Primitive Gonne Safety Practices
