Cutfinger, are you using a piece of flint on a hardened wheel to produce those sparks? Impressive!

Hi Mike ,nope that is a piece of Pyrites from China , I cut a slice off a cube and tapered the edge with a diamond blade on my Dremel tool

Thank you but that is not my arm it is my finger , those picks came off my phone , there is one where the flame obscures the whole thing but I could not get that to move to my computer .

Nice, Wheel locks and match locks where the thing way back. I did try my luck with a wheel lock once but had no success with it. I had a replica Japanese match lock once to, the one with no butt stock. Sold it to a good friend, to bad actually have the kimono to go with it to!

No' Donkies' roaring, been too warm saw three pigs but too dark & a dog spooked a' gimie' managed to break tip if W lock rod easy done in the thick Manuka scrub on a 45 degree slope but took up my 'After' '45 Felix Werder Mid 17th flint so used that following day . With all the kit & tranklemen'ts I looked like Robinson Crusoe.

Very nice photographs of a wheel lock. Any functioning wheel lock is impressive.

Here is a video made by forum member @raszpla from Poland (though he has not been seen in quite some time), one of, if not, the best contemporary wheel lock maker anywhere.

Or at least a functional smoke alarm.

what i meant was it's a great looking rifle. i got flamed calling a muzzleloader a weapon, so i toned it down and called it an arm.!
great looking finger to!

Very cool, thank you for posting that.

Bolek is the best no doubt about it , Cutfingers rifle is not too bad & my own is tolerable . I tolerate mine & Cutfinger likes his and as far as I know they are the only W lock rifles in NZ or Oz but ide be happy to learn of more . ( Iv'e three but the other two are not quite finnished ) This dosnt make me Queen of the May nor proclaim there is some huge advantage useing such annacronistic guns for hunting or any other purpose beyound what Americans describe as 'Poo,s & grins,'.
Though I have used mine hunting for years , Cutfingers rifle was made for a man who expressed a desire to hunt with it but he couldn't be doing with the cheek stock like mine so it had to be shoulder stocked & the' Boys gun 'made for louis the 13th of France had the shoulder stock so And that was adapted dimensualy proportionate to a 54 cal man size rifle..Cutfinger to his great credit persevered with the common pyrites problem and has brought out the best in it . All strength to his bow in that.
Regards Rudyard
