Narva? If my family didnt hold me back I would have been on my way just now! :grin: :v
Hope you contribute more in the future! Have some questions coming on Russian-related stuff. Look at "Percussion".
ARILAR :grin: :thumbsup:
 
Yes, book is interesting, but I don`t know anybody who can make that locks. May be You know? :winking:
 
My friend has the replica of russian pistol, XVII century. Some gunsmith here in Poznan made it:

It is not tipical Moscow lock. Both springs should be outsite the loskplate.
The most interesting is, every little element here was made manually :) He made by hand even screws :grin:

I have question to our friends from Russia:
polish army of king Stefan Batory captured a number of russian muscets between 1579 - 1581.
These guns were very unpopular in polish army, because of very specific lock. There was no trigger :shocked2:, but this muscet had wooden bottom on side of stock using to fire. Can You give some information about it?
It is nice to see You here :hatsoff:
Eto ocien' prijatno vstretit' Vas tut, druzja. Jesli u Vas kakije voprosy, sprasivajte pozousta (I can't use cyrillic alphabet here :( ).
 
GREAIT LOCK!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!

May I order that lock?

About Russian muskets without trigger - do You have a photo? I know only 1 pattern of that musket - without trigger, but with button :shocked2: That musket described in the book, wrote by Makovskaya (I have digital copy) and I`m on the way to make it. :)

I'm sure it is the same typ of weapon. I have no picture of them. I know, one specimen is in Museum of Polish Army in Warsaw, but it was always big problem to make photos of guns there :youcrazy:

You can order a pistol like this. This one with box cost about 600$. I don't know this gunsmith personaly, but i heard only good opinions about him. I don't know what about shipping to Russia, but i can ask. He makes pistols and muskets for the group of reenactors in Poznan. He is really good :bow:

By the way - i'm very interesting about BP shooting in Russia. Can You write about it?

best regards
bartek
 
Well Bartek, can You ask him about only lock? May be he have web-site, e-mail? Instead of I`m a pikeman, I`m interesting in old locks. Shipping not a problem.

Shooting in Russia? Only in reenacting. For each reenacting we must have spechial papers. And also we have a lot of troubles with our custom. :cursing:
 
Kirill,

It warms my heart to know that there are muzzleloaders and reenactors in Russia. :hatsoff: We hear so much of the bad and so little of the good.

I just refinished the stock and touched up the bluing on a 1940 Russian M91/30 from the Tula arsenal. I'll think of you next time I shoot it.

The book Great Century of GUNS by Branko Bogdanovic and Ivan Valencak (Published by Gallery Books 1986) has this drawing of a 1839 Russian Cavalry Carbine.

This would have been a 7 linien (.700 caliber) smoothbore.

The lock appears to be the same as the drawing of the M.1808 Russian Flintlock.
The markings on the lock indicate it was made in Tula.

One more Russian flintlock called "Karelskiy" flintlock. We have information that some Russian hunters use that kind of flintlock at the end of 19 century. :hmm:

Not the adjective I would have chosen. How did you get the Cyrillic script?

Very interesting arm! That type of early lock is known over here as a Russian variation of the Baltic Snaplock.

I know that The Rifle Shoppe offers the parts for that type of arm over at http://www.therifleshoppe.com/(787).htm

Thanks for the pictures! :)

Slowmatch Forever!
