    The Newtowne matchlock

    Cruzatte: With that stock, I'd almost think it would be held near the cheek. I can't see that one against the shoulder. Slowmatch Forever! Teloceras

    Modern matchlock reproductions

    JTL1977AD: Personally, I won't go near the Indian made ones. I've seen a few close up and really didn't like the look and feel of them. I only went with custom builders for the most part. If you are interested in a custom builder, I would heartily recommend Leonard Day. He makes...

    Handgonne Makers?

    Wes: I'm still around although real life has been keeping me busy. My Handgonnes were made by Fred "Graywolf" Miller from Handgonnes.com a long time ago. I know he hasn't made them in a long time and outside of The Rifle Shoppe and Freekforge, I honestly don't know who is still making...

    Hello from Long Island,NY

    Jukain: Hiya from another Islander! Where do you shoot? I usually am at the Town of Islip Range. There is a lot of useful information here so have fun! Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Matchlock Shooters?

    Earl: I'd also recommend Leonard Day. The .62 Arquebuses were not uncommon at the time. Just not as popular when armor became heavier during the 1500's. I have several Matchlocks and Handgonnes from custom makers only. I have not heard good stuff about the Indian made arms. Good...

    Public shooting ranges

    Danny: I've been very fortunate to go to a public range were the Range officers are very supportive of all the muzzleloaders that I shoot. I do get lots of stares when I am shooting my Handgonnes, Serpentine Locks, and Matchlocks. One of the Range officers is also teaches shooting...

    Favorite style of Smoothbore

    PGTMG: I have a great many smoothbores, but I have to admit that my first smoothbore, my .75 Matchlock Musket which I call Hildegarde is my favorite for sentimental reasons. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    wheellock -Spark

    Canute: He is back up now. I had sent my Wheellock mechanism to him earlier this month. Found out there are a lot of faults with it. I want my Wheellock to work as well as the one in that video! Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Wheellock Reliability

    TN Hills Guy: Well, I am sending him my lock mechanism from my Wheellock, because I just for the life of me can't get that thing to spark right. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Wheellock Reliability

    Tenngun: You can, but then the flint will wear down the wheel in a very short time. Iron pyrite was used because the rock was softer than the hardened steel that was used on the wheel. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Safe(r) Use of Matchlocks

    Petardo: When I take one of my Matchlocks to the range, I make it a habit to cut a finger length of slowmatch. After the gun is loaded, I then light the piece of slowmatch and place it in the serpentine. After firing, the small piece of slowmatch is used up and I make sure any burning...

    Three Locks from TRS

    Zonie: If you look at the Dutch style Snaphaunces, that was a common design feature. It does help keep the flash contained in the pan. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Three Locks from TRS

    Ricky: :bow: :bow: Looking forward to seeing them paired with their arms! Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Doc Help: Landsknecht Matchlock Pistol?

    Jet car willy: With a standard sear Matchlock, it is normal for the serpentine to be away from the pan. Only a snapping Matchlock would the serpentine be in the position you mentioned. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Shooting my .83 Matchlock Musket at 35 yards.

    Artificer: I should add that the Musket is quite heavy and would need to use a unipod if fired offhand. That weight helps with the recoil. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Shooting my .83 Matchlock Musket at 35 yards.

    Sean: I just use my canvas gun cover as an elbow rest. I never had to worry about splinters. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Shooting my .83 Matchlock Musket at 35 yards.

    Trent: 1. I filled up the pan. I don't know how much was used. 2. Not for me. 3. Around 760gr. 4. Nope. 5. Nope. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Shooting my .83 Matchlock Musket at 35 yards.

    Alden: I wouldn't either, but my face is not over the pan at anytime when it was uncovered and the slowmatch was lit. Look closely, the cover was closed when I did the checks during those times. I opened the pan cover only when I was ready to fire with the musket on my shoulder. The...
