wheel is very hard.I describe the photographs, the necessary requirements.. I understand that for people with little experience, there is little information , but I think that people with a lot of experience understand the question.
I unfortunately do not speak English to explain in detail the issue of. I can write text in Polish, but I think that the text would be unintelligible.

Pictures are worth a thousand words

I feel ill.   I built four locks and none of them look like what Razpla does.  Two worked,and one of those was a kit, a third can be made to work, and the fourth was an abject failure.  Siiiigggghhhhh.  It is the only part of gun building that I miss.
Razpla, keep posting the pics, please.  I will deal with my disappointment with myself.  Hee, hee!

Razpla, do you have 1:1 scale drawings of this and other locks for sale?
If, I think you have a lot of potenial customers.

I have no plans wheellock, but if there were a few people willing to buy such plans, I could be prepared..
but you must be able to produce spring!you have to know how to temper and you have to know how to temper and forgive.
without these basic skills you will have a problem with self-construction wheellock

[Rolf]

Hardening and tempering is no problem. I have a computer controlled heat treating oven i use for knifes I forge.

Best regards
Rolf

I have a question that is going to show my ignorance for Wheel Locks but I would appreciate the information. Raszpla, on the Cock or Hammer or whatever you call it the threads you cut to hold the Magnesium are flat. I think these are called Acme threads is that correct? How do you cut them? Where can you purchase tap and dies for them. I have never seen then so small and was under the impression they were only machine cut. (self taught rookie machine operator here) Thanks, Bob

[raszpla]

[Long Ears]

Yes, exactly, the threads look like the flat topped Acme threads. It may be just how the photo looks to me. Thanks, Bob

That lock is a work of art!!!

[raszpla]

Thank you. in the near future I have to build, several traditional mechanisms wheellock, but at the end of spring, I'll be building a wheel-lock breech loading. it will be interesting work.
