Eventually Fernando, this cocking system was also used in Spain, within the 18th century, according to James D. Lavin ( A History of Spanish Firearms).

Hi all

Perhaps the reason that the chocks are invested is that the guarantor (the part that has the arch of half-cock) has little room to be located and the same goes for triggering spring, which has the arch of full- cock, because the nut, and the movement of the mainspring leave little room for mechanisms for full and half-cock-cock

Affectionately. Fernando K
