    What kind/type of rifle?

    Hi BigSkyRambler! Your RB has a typical Norwegian kassepipe, "coffin barrel" (or kistpipa as we call it in Sweden). Not unusual that a good muzzleloaded rifle could donate its barrel to a RB rifle. As I wrote already 2012 to Vegard the kassepipe rifles are very loved in Norway. The few I have...

    Percussion pistol

    Well Tac...collecting old weapons has been of great interest in Sweden since Carl Gustaf Wrangel put together his big collection at Skokloster Castle in late 17th Century. You might find almost any kind of antique weapons in private hands among collectors in Sweden. Often bigger collections than...

    Need help in determining market value on Swedish M/1815 Flintlock

    Yes, as "apskaft" explains this is a "1815 reparationsmodell" and in this case is the nice m/1747-lock used. The ramrod is a later replacment. The price in Sweden for a musket like this would be as "Luzur" suggest around 5000 SKr. Around 8000-9000 SKr more likely for a true m/1815 if in better...

    Here's a buddies gun???

    I would say Moroccan snaphaunce from Taroudant region or Oued Sous valley. Has the right "srir" (stock) and "ouraya" (butt plate). The "ecceba" (stockwrist) looks also right. Just my 2c. Do you agree Ricky? :thumbsup:

    What kind/type of rifle?

    Hi Vegard, What you have is a wonderful example of a Norweigan percussion-rifle with a typical "kassepipe". This type of rifles is extremely loved in Norway. The internet-forum "Svartkrutt.net" has also an international part in english and you should show this pretty specimen at that place. Here...

    Odd rifle

    And some photos taken from two different Swedish books. Tells that this lock-style belongs to rifles from the most northern part of Sweden called "Norrbotten".

    Odd rifle

    You are right Wulf! :bow: . Its a typical Swedish percussion snaplock of "tåspännartyp". The rifles are called "allmogebössor" or "lodbössor" in swedish. Produced and used in northern parts of Sweden. Suspect this one comes from the coastline and were used for hunting seals. What caliber...

    Looking for information about P.Bondini company and rifle

    Yes Chuckpa, that is truly the Sanftl made by Bondini. As I understand it has nothing to do with german style rifles (like Pedersolis Bristlen Morges and Waadtländer), instead typical "Tyroler" Austrian style. I have an original made by a Anton Vent. Well..the Sanftl may have been popular among...

    Looking for information about P.Bondini company and rifle

    ChuckPa...you are refering to German style? Is it possible you mean Austrian style? I remember Paul Bondini made a nice model in Austrian style named Sanftl. Later also Pedersoli had their version on this. Do you have a pic on the German style if different to Sanftl? If I recall correct you had...

    Matchlock conversion

    I have seen an original Enfield P.53 converted to a match-lock. Maybe the reason can be that it was easier to produce a cord than getting caps in the region it was used. Just some years ago I could see very crude and simple made ML weapons with match-lock in northern Vietnam. Still used and high...

    Who makes a match-grade matchlock these days?

    Hi Mike, Seems hard to get what you seek. Dont have to much experience myself. Used the Hege for several years (first major match was the Worlds in Camp Perry 1992). Never liked it (to front-heavy, slippery against the shoulder and mine had late ignitions) sold it without regrets. Actually...

    Hi Bartek!! Hasnt been posting here for some time (been on the dark side dealing with cartridge weapons for a while). This week though trying a "so called" cal..62 pistol (smooth-bore flintlock) that "liked" a .575 bullet with .015 patch. Also has a flintlock-rifle in caliber .62 that wants...
