Wish I had those kind of craftsmanship skills.



I'm pretty ignorant about flintlocks, so can you tell me a bit more about that barrel? Is the 1550-1600 a caliber, model description, or years-used description?



Is it commercially available, or did he have it custom-made?



I tip my hat to your son. That's an instant family heirloom.

It's a Matchlock action.

1550 -1600 is the time period this Matchlock was used. The barrel was ordered from Track of the Wolf. It is a 1.00" smooth bore.

He can do some pretty amazing things, Computer design, Metal work, his artist ability is amazing.



This was a leaf spring from a 67 mustang.
