Runar, I'm really enjoying this build. You're doing a great job, both in the construction, and in presenting it to us.

You will find the trigger pull is very light, because it is pinned so high. Great work Runar.

Dale Campbell · « **Reply #35 on:** August 05, 2011, 02:41:11 PM »

Trigger pull is light. But the lateral sear makes for veerrry looonnngg creep.

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #36 on:** August 05, 2011, 10:57:59 PM »

The lock I made has a primary and a secondary sear. the big one that sticks through the plate into the wheel is held in position by a very small one. The engagement is much like that of a set trigger engagement. The lightest touch separates the two, and the thing is in motion. There is no creep whatsoever, and ounces of trigger pull.

Mr Sapergia,

would you have a pic or drawing of your sear arrangement? Forgive me, but I'm what my teacher friend refers to as a "Visual Learner"

Sounds like an interesting sear set.

Thanks

I'll see what I can come up with...

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #39 on:** August 06, 2011, 02:01:42 AM »

Rather than undermine this thread, which is a good one, I will post the pictures of the primary/secondary sear arrangement that I used on my wheellock pistol in a new thread.

Thank you

I am waiting for parts to the Flintlock from AMERICA, so now it is the belt hook w/pierced base it is a lot of filing/elbowgrease for sale in AMERICA?And yes I have ordered a Jewelry saw haha

Very nice work? You going to make a belt clip? Curious as to what the final weight will be in comparison to originals also

runastav · « **Reply #46 on:** August 14, 2011, 11:22:25 AM »

Goodmorning Folks!
Thank you cmac, and yes it is a beltpistol i scan a photo from DJW 4/1983 of a proud Scott with 2 pistols

And now it is the hook made from a 6,5x30mm flatstock, my hack saw is well used tool!And beeswax for cooling ofcourse

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #47 on:** August 14, 2011, 05:54:45 PM »

I'm really enjoying this thread runastav! In the picture of the Scot, his upper pistol is suspended in a leather loop that goes over his head and under his arm pit. The second or lower pistol is in his belt. But his basket hilt broadsword is his primary weapon, seconded by his dirk.

runastav · « **Reply #48 on:** August 16, 2011, 11:44:57 AM »

Thanks for the innformation Taylor! Now the base and hook is silverbrazed together, the hook is of mild steel and there is plenty of strength.

Lucky me have radius tools hehe
