There is a limited edition replica of the NewTowne matchlock being currently made and I am sorely tempted That's a handsome piece.. 8) when I was at Westley Richards we sold a lot of genuine antique matchlocks from India, many were still loaded :shock: I never fancied owning one of the Indian types...

I wonder if ferrocerium, that stuff that camping fire making sticks are made from, would work? It is not as hard as steel and it throws some good sparks. Smart !! yes, it does, quite well. the builder [ leonard day ] made a little holder to insert instead of the pyrite, and it holds 3 little ferroc...

That`s a beautiful rifle hfcable.

thank you. it is a very handy size and handles well.

hfcable

Cable, nice rifle. Watching the guy shooting the pistols, it seems like there is an extra step compared to a "regular" flintlock. is the payoff in the lock time? accuracy? lock time mostly, but the wheelock was in use before the typical flintlock, and was really competing with the match lock the wh...

here are some quick pics of mine:

it has fitted barrels easily interchanged: a .62 smooth bore and .62 rifle barrel

hope to take the smooth bore out to shoot a turkey, ' pilgrim style ' , some day

i have a wheelock rifle, a total copy of the one that belonged pilgrim John Alden. it is a marvel ---the lock time is very fast. it is a .62 and has a real wallop ! have to post a picture if i can find one.

for me. what worked best after major back surgeries was to be up and on my feet as much as i could tolerate....sounds wrong, but it isnt -- the soreness and pain diminshed fast for me , doing that.

let your back be your guide, but be up and going if you can

I would bet that those would have pretty nice bores and make good shooters. A little above my preferred price point though.

me too, but would be great in a canoe or 4 wheeler [ just kidding, sorta ]

Delirious with envy here, Harold.

i have searched but cant find that thread on that volcanic; as i recall that fellow also made other amazing things

some years back there was an ad in gun list frm a fellow in Meteetse wyoming, advertisting that he was going to make volcanic replicas in 22, rifles and handguns; i wrote to him a couple of times and we haggled about payment terms [ i didnt want to pay the whole thing up fromt ] and never heard any ...

Welcome to the fire. Strange that an Angle Eject would have a side mount. The AE is drilled and tapped for a top mounted scope from the factory. true, maybe it was the model before the AE?

I've heard of 2" , 2&1/2", 2&3/4 & 3" but never a 2 &1/4"- me thinks it was a typo at 2&1/4. Pour a chamber cast, make a length gauge but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts its a 2&3/4" chamber. i think you are right, a typo. after the late 1920s most all american made shotguns had 2 3/4" chambers. i hav...

most shotguns from that vintage are chambered 2 3/4". parker shotguns were deliberately chambered 2 5/8" for use with 2 3/4" as they thought or found that this gave better patterns. many'shotgun authorities' say 2 5/8" chambers are okay with 2 3/4" shells but as has already been said, any gun of tha...

500 grain at trapdoor velocities? Sounds like getting hit by a full cement mixer at 55 mph.
