    Watching this got me thinking. How easy it would be to make a firing system to initiate a canon shot with the wheellock. I have seen the ones used for firing them with a flintlock but if wheellock had been utilised it would have moved the design on so many years earlier and as an aside to that I wonder how the course of firearm developement wouldhave been changed.
    Sorry to hijack the thread Tac, just the musing of a stir crazy old man .

    Do not......repeat DO NOT let Mick Shepherd see these. He will offer you a tenner each for them, then the next week they will be on....what could loosely be described as...... his website, for about 15 grand each. I go on there for a laugh sometimes. Asi Paratroopers for £450 (oh but it was owned by Doc Holiday)......errrm dont think the dates quite tie in there Michael me old son!!!

    Or the Crosman 1077 (not even the real one it was the plastic one) described a a desirable classic that will fly out the door.... a steal at £295. Mick they use them at Fairgrounds mate..... you robbing James Hunt! His site is good for a laugh when you see how gullible people must be but the absolute brass can of the guy lol

    Anyway but nice set of wheellocks you have there O.P.
