    My new wheelock

    If only Tesla could invent an instrument that could touch a piece of history like this wheelock....and verbalize or print its recorded history?!

    My new wheelock

    "A person does not need a wall hanger if that person is a shooting enthusiast...unless that person is an antique firearms collector." I am only quoting myself! I agree that is a great purchase...a great looking carbine! Wheelocks in my selfish opinion are the ultimate in the generations of locks!

    Perhaps not TobJohn??? Perhaps in their "breech loading" wheelocks? Wish I had your research talent! The arrows could be only a few inches long in a sabot type casing...not long bow arrows.....shot slightly vertically..not using horizontal sights?

    TobJohn: Ho! Perhaps shot like a sabot today? Arrow inside a split tube designed to separate once leaving the barrel? Very interesting indeed!

    I really enjoyed this video...going to pass it around! Very informative!

    My new wheelock

    Agreed on the fault/ignorance of auction houses! Too much trouble/expense to find pyrite when they must have a wheelbarrow full of flint. It's "Practical decoration". A missing "anything" in the dog jaws is like a smile with a missing front tooth. The object is to get the firearm sold and...

    Flintlock1640: Congratulations ! Wheelocks are my love of all firearms! NOTE: Is that "FLINT" in the jaws of the dog?

    And my new Italian miquelet carbine

    Sidebar and off subject: Interesting that Flint62Smoothie and PathfinderNC both have over 3900 posts, only 4 posts apart!!! At least I thought that was interesting??? Now back to the subject at hand!

    Absolutamente magnífico!!! Perfección máxima!!! Henry: How many estimated hours of manufacture in each lock? If that is a trade secret...no problem!

    Henry with your over-the-top detail and incredible craftsmanship....your wheelocks should bring $1600-1800 and should have a 4000-5000 lifecycle before a light tuneup requirement.

    Henry many moons ago growing up in south texas I worked summers as a young teenage apprentice at the king ranch vet clinic outside Kingsville....which was located a good three rock throws from one of the ranch farriers. After hours I enjoyed watching the farriers work their blacksmithing. I...

    Sam I take a personal affront to your comment! At my age, I have cracked my nuts with an old fashioned hand nut cracker....MUCH CHEAPER THAN AN ANVIL! Whoops, I mean cracking my pecans!!!!

    Be careful with Black Powder...You never know!

    Charlie...our family had a deep East Texas Farm....I speak from a whitness experience.....you are absolutely correct!

    Be careful with Black Powder...You never know!

    Down where I live it rarely freezes with dry humidity; however when it does, walking across carpet and touching anything metal like a refrigerator door or door knob, etc. would give you a pop! We replaced all carpet with tile and fake wood a long time ago. No problems since.

    Thank you Henry....perhaps? the welder had an effect on the tempering of your original condition anvil...hard to believe a factory Vulcan anvil was not tempered properly. Your quick observation of the dings saved the smooth surface...I would have not been so observant! Thank you for the photo...

    If you are a member of the NMLRA, this months "Muzzle Blast" has an excellent article on "Black Powder, the early years", with good info regarding the manufacture of BP back in the day and today...methods of getting rid or reducing the risk of BP "dust particles" and also a good article on "safe...
