Where to buy matchlocks

Beware of those "fishtail" musket's.  Most people can't get on stock for a good site picture.  I've made a number of them, from scratch all except the barrels.  I use a slightly more "modern" design on buttstock that has a trad. look but you can see down the bbl.  Sorry I don't have any pic's of gun's but here's a pic of my proto type late lock with pan on lock plate.   ....Tom

Just out of curiosity what do you charge for one and can I see pics if possible? I don't have the money now but I'm looking at all my options.

I recommend John Buck--he crafted my Japanese/Korean style matchlock, but he specializes in European styles.  http://www.musketmart.com/

MedicineSoldier:
I can only share that I am pretty happy with my Matchlock from Middlesex.  I did redo it to slim it down, clean up metal parts and restain but as far as function it was fine even before the makeover.  

That being said I am not saying it is the best choice or way to go.

Uumm....a rather modest statement I'd say, what with that big bird laying there under it.

Good on you MedicineSoldier, ya seem to be a man to walk the river with.

Uncle Russ....
