Incredible craftsmanship as always!

[@RubberChickenMan007]

Wow, this must be the California compliant guns special.

[@morecannonfab]

I doubt if it’s even legal in California. Not sure though.

@@morecannonfab It doesn't qualify as a gun since it doesn't use modern cartridges, and is thus legal in all parts of the US.

Beautiful firearms. I love matchlocks. I've made a more traditional pistol but would like to do a dagger or other more exotic type. This could be the inspiration I need.

[@ac9356]

Nice and it fires quicker than a flint lock I thought hair b the same for some reason

[@shawnwright346]

Very cool

[@AlexKS1992]

Looks like a project I would like to do is make a matchlock musket.

[@raphlvlogs271]

are they both smooth boar firearms? if they are than they can also be used to fire shots like a shotgun

[@morecannonfab]

Yes, these are smooth bore and can fire shot charges.

[@HarshmanHills]

Bringing a knife to a gun fight. Are you going to sell those? Might need one

[@morecannonfab]

Yes, I’m selling pistols and daggers.

[@bulow453]

Thinking to make one. What are you using for a barrel?

[@morecannonfab]

I use seamless DOM tubing.

Take it easy packing with that ram rod. I have a hole in my hand because of that.

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

No, thats from you doing it wrong, I'm sorry but, notice how he never puts his hand over the rod, he holds it with his finger tips. This is so if you do cause detonation by ramming, it will only singe you fingers and throw the rod away and not through you since you are following standard safety procedures dating back to the 15th century. This is one of the first things you learn when dealing with black powder when properly educated or when educating yourself. I'm sorry you learned the hard way, I have some doubt to the authenticity of your story but for ill give you the benefit of the doubt and fact-check the comment none the less, and... TLDR: he is not in danger of a hole in his hand at any point during the video.

@@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb I didn't blow the rod through my hand. The wad and ball became lodge in the barrel. Weakest point was out the other way. I'm sure there were many factors that came to play that day. Thanks though
