    Lengthening forcing cone to reduce cylinder gap, in revolver with integral barrel.

    Gents, My one and only revolver is an 1850 -odd British Tranter-Adams -Kerr. Its rough pitted and had been beat to death when I got it. Straightened it out, and the timing was still right on. Even with a rough bore, it shoots better groups than a lot of modern pistols and revolvers. Its only...

    Pin or peg rest for trigger finger.

    Gents, Though the rifle fitted with this pin is a flinlock, I am putting it in this section as I had alredy asked Rudyard if he had ever seen such a thing. (In 'strange snapping matchlock...' thread) Said pin is eminently practical, and a wonder to me that it is not seen more. Here is the...

    Zoomorphic muzzles on European guns.

    Gents, in a recent thread, we got to discussing zoomprphic, or animal/dragon/monster head muzzles. Rather than "Contaminate" that thread further, here is another, or maybe more when I get time to look further! All best, R...

    East meets west. Peter Hofkircher C 1525

    Looking for a specific set of images for a thread here, I ran again into the Peter Hofkircher tinderlock of C 1525. (Tob, your picture added in a recent post reminded me!) I had not noticed it before, how the stock behind the breech is so very similar to the Indian Torador. See link...

    Guns of Tipu Sultan.

    Rudyard asked me to post these photos of guns owned by Tipu Sultan. Photos a bit fuzzy, but they do show some interesting details. If anyone has clearer photos, I'm sure they would be appreciated. Best, Richard.

    Archaic arms, created by Rudyard.

    Gents, I didn't know what to call this thread, but received some pohotos of Rudyard's work, and very nice too! (Yes, I have seen them before but never shown here until now.) I will l et our Rudyard tell you about them. Here are the photos;

    First matchlock, from decades ago.

    Gents, below was my first attempt at a matchlock. Some photos have been floating around for a long time. I never did get back to taking better ones after we re-sized wrongly and got 'wiggly' lines. This shows what we didn't know back then! Rick and some others already know this one, so if you...

    Snapping matchlock

    Tusco Emelian snapping tinderlock, C 1525. This is one I rough copied from one owned by a friend, now sadly passed. at present, it has two wood -screws that are bought ones, the rest is homemade. The barrel was hydraulic pipe. Used lathe to cut down the centre, then used a file and "draw...
