Remarkable Gunmaking
- Thread starter tiriaq

there have been several spectacular build posts on there over the last 6 months or so. I think it may have been Raszpla who made a scottish all metal pistol and another fellow who makes everything with hand tools and uses wrought iron to make them with. I wish I had a tenth of their ability and patience

He has also posted many times on muzzleloadingforum.com, where many of us have dribbled over his remarkable workmanship. He makes true replications of well-known pieces in various musuems over here in Europe, for display. I do not recall any of his remarkable creations ever been seen actually firing, although there can be no doubt that they would do so if required. Needless to say, with museums and institutes paying, such work does not come cheaply. You may confidently figure on having to pay a six-figure dollar price for any of his past wheellock guns, we were informed.

Either on ALR or MLF, there was a link to a video of the lock on one of his pistols being fired - just the lock with priming.
Interestingly, on the first try, the pyrites broke; he replaced it, and the next three times were successful.
