    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    My lock is definitely #3 of the diagrams shown. The sear does not protrude through the plate. I believe it is TRS lock #669… Anyhow, here is the original piece it’s based upon: https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/83/135/documented-17th-century-british-doglock-musket

    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    The original has a unique rear sight, which has been duplicated.

    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    I've initially tried .715 ball in a paper cartridge with 100 grains of 2Fg (part of which goes towards priming), and .735 with wads, with accurate results. It WAS a bit stout for target shooting, though! 😜

    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    The tumbler has a half-cock notch. The dog, or "back ketch" was a back-up safety feature; a hold-over from even earlier type locks.

    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    Recently finished for me! Repro based on an original piece (pic included) from the Dunster Castle armoury, an English musket from the second half of the 1600s. Dog-lock from The Rifle Shoppe (early type with lateral sear), .75 caliber 44" Hoyt barrel, walnut stock, hand-forged furniture...

    WITHDRAWN .50 Lancaster Style Rifle w/35-36" Barrel

    Not to torment you further, but I have almost exactly what you’re looking for (it has a 38” bbl): an iron-mounted “Isaac Haines“ Lancaster-style rifle in .50 cal. I’ve toyed with the notion of selling it because it mostly just hangs on the wall, but like you I think I’d really regret parting...

    Swivel guns

    It’s one of these, with a longer barrel than shown in the pics. The lock came with that bridle. My friend who fabricated the swivel yoke also refinished and “de-farbed“ the ‘buss. https://militaryheritage.com/musket24.htm

    Quick Fuse

    I used to mess around making “quills” but now I just cut 3” lengths of this fuse. Touch it with your slowmatch and ignition is instantaneous. https://cannonfuse.com/cannon-fuse/white-safety-fuse-3-4-sec-ft-quick-fuse

    WITHDRAWN withdrawn

    Any interest in a trade? I have a nice .50 cal iron-mounted York County rifle I’d consider parting with.

    Club-butt Militia Musket

    We were pretty much inspired by this original from the George Moller collection. It appears in Vol. 1 of his “American Shoulder Arms.”

    Club-butt Militia Musket

    Pic of the original lock in the Royal Armoury upon which the Rifle Shoppe based their casting. Basically the next step beyond the dog-lock.

    Feeding a 10 gauge

    Fowler/musket just under way, with a talented friend doing the build. Based on an early 18th c. New England piece, it will have a maple stock, a Don Getz 10 ga. bbl, 42” and “squared” at the breech, sheet iron furniture, and a monster “George I” era lock (#636 from TRS). So, that .775 bore…...
