    Spanish Miquelet, where to get a lock kit?

    Bill, This lock is smoother than some of my underhammers and TC flintlocks. I love it. I just need some shoulder screws for the hammer and frizzen. Paul

    Spanish Miquelet, where to get a lock kit?

    I cut a strip of brass from a door kick panel (that was damaged). Annealed it to butter soft. Wrapped it around the barrel and stock. Tapped the band down into the space around the barrel above the stock with round stock. Wrapped the ends together and placed a 1/16 inch diameter brass rivet to...

    Spanish Miquelet, where to get a lock kit?

    Reason for those questions: I would like to build up a pistol with this kind of lock & trigger assembly. OK, wow, these pictures I will save along with their explanations. Next question: can you show a picture of how the trigger lays/sits? I imagine that the trigger is pinned above the sear...

    The Spanish version of the Miquelet is very interesting to me. Does anyone have pictures of how the sear works? How about links to lock kits? Thanks, IdeZilla ala PaulTBarton

    TC percussion Lock, new fly, no workee

    OK, all is back together and working again. The main spring diameter is bigger at one end. Swapped ends of that spring and it all works as new. This is probably not the real solution but for now it is OK. Full-cock is working, fly is again working, set triggers work as before. Whew, and thanks...
