    Rehardening frizzens - one size fits all? Musings for metallurgy masterminds....

    Considering that there would be all kinds of steel and a variety of different shapes. I have a frizzen (wall gun) as large as the entire lock of another (pocket pistol). There are miquelets, snaphaunces, and many others. Some may be excellent steel while others may barely be allowed to be...

    What is it?

    Muzzle loader, the gun does not contain a breech therefor the breech is loaded from the muzzle end. Just like a revolver.

    NRA "Voting"

    If you believe voting for the lesser wevil (master and commander) will solve the problem then you are mistaken. We can't vote out of the mess we are in.

    For those saying a Blunderbuss is "impractical" I assume for the same reason you have no interest in a cannon?

    My blunderbuss options

    Veteran. Of the Indian made busses the "french" tends to be the best looking as well as slightly better lock geometry.

    An Early Miquelet Wall Gun

    Makes one wonder with the snaphaunce origins and miquelet origins being late 15 early 16 hundreds. Franchise could have taken the southern integrated frizzen of the miquelet and northern internal springs to develop the true flintlock.

    My blunderbuss options
