India Torador Matchlock Wall Gun
Sam...great idea...compressed air and WD-40...oh, wait...WD-40 in a can already is under pressure...use that little red tube in the can plunger and stick the other end in the touch-hole ! Don't you wish there was a way to telegraph that idea to the India fortresses back in the day...they could...- XVIIc Wheelock

India Torador Matchlock Wall Gun
Rick you are correct about a very hard to clean bore at the breach...I guess filling the bbl. with aqua....then forcing an over sized wad of something to pressure residue out the touch-hole, repeating until black turns to grey turns to near clear.

You can then frame the...- XVIIc Wheelock

Simple matchlock

Simple matchlock
TobJohn: The fellas in the blue and especially orange outfits might be in for some recoil pain below the belt and a face full of smoke? Interesting though all are shooting straight from the lower torso location...much like our cowboy heros in old B&W tv shows...but they always shot the gun out...- XVIIc Wheelock
