A Sufficient Musket, John Alden's Snaphaunce Gun

[@Real11BangBang]

As somebody who has built rifle shoppe firearms from the 17th century, particularly wheellocks I have to say that you did an excellent job building that snaphaunce

[@johnmilligan1034]

The part you label as frizzen is actually called a battery on a Snaphaunce. When the battery was integrated with the pan cover in the subsequent flintlock , it was then called the frizzen.but on a Snaphaunce the pan cover and battery were separate parts.

Great video! I am getting ready to start a musket build - my first from scratch build - of a similar type. I plan to do a “heron butt” with an English style lock. Is your rifle from The Rifle Shoppe? I ordered a trigger guard and a few other parts from there. Love the idea of the barrel bands instead of pipes as it’s going to be easier to fabricate. Thanks for all the pics!

Ah yes, the date on this gonne; Alden’s Number.
