Hi, namesake:

I think there has been a military rifle (carbine) from the time of the Napoleonic wars in Spain and Portugal, as amended and added antique / engraving), and of course, replaced the key (lock).

I confess this is the first time I meet with the "crowbar". It has many similarities with the Spanish Miqueletes. The average riding (half cock) is achieved with a projection (arch) that gets under the curve of the appendix and full rides (full cock) is achieved with an appendix spring, I imagine.

The system referred to Matchlock, would not be the same, and which can be seen in some Scottish weapons? (half cock)
