			Wheellock, If you search using "Tinderlock" or "Snaplock,....snapping matchlock, or Arquebus" you will get swamped in Michael's old threads and photos. Michael had one of the earliest known snap-locks, and found in these pages with detailed photos. Can I ask why you seek the workings for such a lock? I ask, as building such arms is of great interest to me, as time permits! Best, Richard. Edited to add a photo or two, from Michael's threads, Wheellock; See thread; Schwamm-Schnappschloß, ~1510, Juni 08_ 1 kl.jpg Last edited by Pukka Bundook; 24th October 2020 at 04:23 PM. |
