Matchlock plans?

[TFoley]

Not, I hasten to add, for me - I know MY limitations!

A fellow poster on another forum has lost his plans for a mid-17thC matchlock of the type used around the time of settlement of the Americas and the English Civil War.

Does anybody here know of any readily available plans for a firearm of this type?

TIA

You might want to contact the Rifle Shoppe in Oklahoma. They have all sorts of things for and from that specific era.

Very nice work, Hogslayer. I particularly like your dragon.

One of the trickiest parts is the "D" toggle on the inside of the serpentine which I have seen made by brazing a bent finishing nail to a square nut.
