The Wheellock Page




Sparky - This is my .58 smoothbore Wheellock built by Loyalist Arms of Halifax, Nova Scotia. She represents the design of a Dutch Wheellock from the New Netherlands colony in the mid 17th Century. The fellow in the bottom picture is one of the gentlemen who helped build Sparky. The lock mechanism was rebuilt by Leonard Day after some defects were detected. If you would like to see the interior of the lock mechanism then just click
