Snaplock,

It appears we share similar interests.

Look up the guns of Henry V111, as he had some breechloaders, originally wheel-locks but at least one now fitted with a match lock.

If I remember right, one of these took a cartridge, and was somewhat like a left-handed "Snider" action. Good photos should be available.

All the best,
Richard.

Thanks for the advice about looking up the guns of king Henry. I have seen the snider style one but I'll look into it more I didn't know he had others.

I will probably not be able to check this thread until Sunday or monday since I'm going to be busy on a trip with friends. So I very much appreciate all of the help and will definitely reply as soon as I get back.

Thanks!
