Just to inform everyone ... with Brian Anderson retiring from full-time services (he'll still tinker ... ) if you need blacksmith or gunsmith services, one can also contact Jeff Miller of The Flintlock Forge. I am sure he has made matchlocks and I know he makes his own locks for flinters. I have a piece made by him from TRS parts and it's first class - you'd swear you were holding an original.
