    Another gentleman lives in Argentina -

    Quote - The MLF member AAOG is a professional gun maker in Argentina who makes handmade wheellock pistols. He has a website and a Facebook page.
    In one thread where he shows an .86 caliber rifle that he built, I posted the following contact info.:--->>> https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/t...fle-86.113373/

    "I have also visited their facebook page.
    Just type this name into the search box on facebook: Armas Antiguas Osvaldo Gatto
    Everything can be translated with mouse clicks."

    This thread shows his wheel lock pistol with videos showing how it works:--->>> https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/t...uilder.111170/
    His Facebook page also lists his website.

    Please understand that Snr Gatto is a VERY busy man who will not be hurried simply by forcing money into his hands.
