    My custom wheellock is on it's way

    No, actually a guy named Andras Konya from Hungary did the lock. He had posted several of his locks he made on this site somewhere in a thread so I contacted him about doing a lock for me. He sent me pics of various examples of original locks and locks he'd done and I picked this one - copied...

    My custom wheellock is on it's way

    Well, the lock was delivered on Monday. IT's a real work of art. Every piece made by hand. He included a spanner, two lock bolts, and a thingie with a ferrocerium rod in it for the jaws. I use a ferrocerium rod flattened for jaws, or actual pyrites but the inclusion was a considerate...

    Recently jumped on this rifle on Clay Smith's site. Since I am originally from a mere 8 miles from Christian Springs I could not resist. I have to say, Mr. Moore is a fine artisan.

    My custom wheellock is on it's way

    Have waited months, and my custom made wheellock lock is finally on it's way to me. Smith also made a spanner to go with it.

    New Argentine Wheel lock

    I find that to be a reasonable cost for such a lock, particularly given the hand work required, plus tuning etc. Let's face it. Nobody is mass producing wheellock locks that I know of. Good job AAOG. I ordered a custom wheellock lock from a Hungarian guy named Andras Konya. I don't have it...
