My new matchlock arrived today

[ArmorerRoy]

I just took this out of the box. It is a 75 caliber smooth bore. I need to do a few things before I shoot it but so far it is perfect. I got this from Access Heritage who has been an amazing company to order from. I can’t recommend them enough.

Looks good. Lots of good times coming your way. Is the trigger guard OK or do you have to do some work there? And is the flash hole drilled? I like it.

First thing I did was strip their sprayed on finish. Here it is next to my Baker for size and color comparison. I might leave it blonde, I’m not sure…

The trigger is connected by a lever. You pull it back to lever the cord into the pan. It rests forward in the guard under spring tension.

That looks great! I got my early matchlock arquebus from Access for Christmas and need to prep her for when the temps climb back to the 40’s. Where did you get the powder horn if I may ask?

Nice! Where'd you get the powder flask that's with it?
