    "Match Holder"

    :bow: I wonder if there is someone out there with the iron working skills to make a ground spike and burning match cord holder---I don't know the medieval word for it. I would certainly like one and am ready and willing to pay for the manufacture and shipping. Mebbe Pitchy, who is just mildly...

    History Channel-Wheelock

    :hmm: I caught a quick glimpse of the History Channel today and they were re-doing the story about Leonardo DaVinci's wheelock drawings. They showed a ~400 year old work of art wheelock---and outside of misuse of terms (their lack of sufficient research) they fired this gun ( some set of...

    New Gonne

    :bow: Another Wes Pilley beauty is on the way. It's .50 calibre and a copy from a photo of one I found in the research files I have gleaned from "our" bunch of gonners. Teleoceras is going to be flipping over my recent "conversion." Anyhoo here's the pic still on Wes' lathe. I think the next...

    Albion Arms

    :v Is this company still in actual existence?? :hmm: , though they say they can't take orders because of back-ups---they advertise a book: "Powder & Ball Small Arms " by Martin Pegler. I found a good copy at ~$52 USD hardcover--though Amazon.com shows $152.00, a nice book for my collection...

    History Channel

    :grin: Caught the last half of the History Channel story about the Wheelock as an invention of Leonardo Da Vinci. They did show an amazing ~400 year old wheelock pistol in excellent condition---that was typically ornamented for arather wealthy client---it looked to have a barrel well into 14"+...

    Side of a Barn

    :grin: Well one more try with my gonne yesterday---personally I couldn't hit the side of a barn, even with the doors shut :rotf: With that smooth bore and slightly undersized, patched ball---I'm shooting high----I suppose just the boom and smoke would be enough to scare somebody. Other club...

    Arquebus

    :grin: Well I spoke with John Buck two days ago (man does he have a bad cold )and after a little discussion here's a close example of my future serpentine matchlock (harquebus, arquebus,???) Some difference is that the barrel will be an octagonal to round with a "flared"( don't know the...

    Tell me a story

    :bow: I have taken a page from John Buck's site and this is the "Arquebus" I am interested in at the present time. From some of my limited research---I believe that this type of "stock" and configuration were typical of the Swiss---Now I need the input of those more well versed in this...

    Gonnes & Powder Flasks??

    :grin: Colour me happy, I went to the range this morning and fired my .60 Handgonne---it makes heads turn with that B-O-0-0-0-0-M-M!!!! Now whether I can figure a way to aim this at a target at 50 feet for the Handgonne Postal, we shall see, only time & practise will tell. I was set to thinking...

    The Gunny & the Wheelock

    :grin: While GySgt.'s generally leave me with a bit of a shiver---R. Lee Ermey's show mail call gives me some laughs as well as nostalgia. I love being called a "maggot" in the morning. Yesterday on his program on the History Channel ---"Mail Call" he was duded out in Pre- Flintlock duds, and...

    Left or Right???

    :bow: The idiot's delight---something that I rarely do is change the sights on any guns. However, I want to change over the sights on my old GPR back to primitive----from the rear of the gun----in which direction do I remove the front and rear sights from their dovetails. Would I also replace...

    John Buck

    :confused:Unfortunately, John's web site is still unfinished and being a newcomer to the matchlock lunacy :youcrazy: I am unable to see what his offerings are. This renders me incapable ( more than usual ) :yakyak: of talking intelligently re: my hopes and desires. Quite admittedly I have not...
