    Handmade Miquelet lock.

    Grzrob: True, but one the of the strengths of those locks was that you really didn't need a knapped flint like the other flinters. A flint spawl was enough. Especially on the locks that had a grooved frizzen. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Volatpluvia: Talked to John earlier and he is just waiting for the barrels to come in. It looks like the .58 Handgonne will be the first one done in the Fall. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    No new projects?

    Damn, this forum got quiet. How about it everyone? No new projects? Anyone have a new Matchlock, Wheellock, etc on order? For me I have an 8 Bore Matchlock Musket on order from John Buck. He is also building me a .58 long barreled Handgonne with a stock that fits over the shoulder...

    want to buy a matchlock

    Jumpshot: Yep, that's about right. Lucky for me, the German Muskets had a transition from the sear bar trigger to the later type during the 1570's. The original one has a sear bar trigger which is my personal preference. So Brünhilda will have one as well. Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    Production matchlocks

    Bapfreak: The only one I know of is the Matchlock Arquebus sold by Historic Enterprises. I bought one of those 8 years ago. The only thing I didn't like was the finish. After rubbing some linseed oil onto the stock, then she looked much better. This one is made in Europe. Hope...

    What is a "musket"?

    Gentlemen: At least can we agree that Muskets whether from the 16th Century or the 19th Century are just a fun way to spend the day at the range, woods, etc? I know I just LOVE all of my girls..:youcrazy:..err.. Muskets. :grin: Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    What is a "musket"?

    Bryan: The term Musket originated in the 16th Century. There were three main types of military arms at that time that were named due to their size. The Musket was the largest of the guns of the time with calibers ranging from .75 to .95 and so heavy, a unipole musket rest was needed. The...

    want to buy a matchlock

    Oldarmy: Very nice! Are you going to make your own slowmatch? I like the sear bar trigger myself. A lot more fine control on bringing the match down to the powder. Good luck! Slowmatch Forever! Teleoceras

    want to buy a matchlock

    Oldarmy: I second Ezekial's recommendation. I own three of John Buck's arms with three more on order. He will make the Matchlock exactly to your specification. As plain or fancy as you like with your choice of caliber. Plus he is a super nice guy to talk to as well. Slowmatch Forever...

    Do I hafta build more locks?

    Volatpluvia: Nothing to say on my end except that I've been moving my B.P. website to a new location because Geocities will be shutting down later in the year. That and I've been making plenty of slowmatch this month. The weather hasn't exactly been good for my preferred arms these...

    pyrite

    Tinker2: The sparks are coming off the pyrite, not the steel like with flint. Not all pyrite is the same hardness. The wheel has been cutting grooves into the pyrite with each shot. Pyrite is an iron sulfide (FeS2) which will create a spark when struck against any hard surface. The...
