Oh, man, how cool is that!!!!

That is so fast, and so sure! Congratulations, my friend! So much work, and now you have done it!



Raz, How do you clean the lock after firing?

I always wonder, because of all the the antique locks that have survived. The mechanism is very complicated, and the wheel must be very hard to clean?

This is a weapon to people who are not afraid to dream! - for such a man, cleaning weapons is a trifle  :)

God bless you, Razpla, for showing us that and giving us such a complete view of the mechanism and adding powder.  You are right that this is a lock only for those who are able to dream.

Raz lives in the deep dark forest, he comes out only at night to mine iron from the mountains. It is said you can hear his hammers pounding on a hot summer afternoon, or in the dead of winter, hear his forge blowing in the treetops.

the real pleasure is true pyrite! :) ( przyjemność i pełna satysfakcja to prawedziwy piryt !). The use of pyrite, requires a good mechanism wheellock. Good wheellock mechanism, requires experience and time. - But it's worth learning - persevere. Czsa passes quickly -
  YOU do in your life, at least one thing well! :) ( Użycie pirytu , wymaga dobrego mechanizmu wheellock. Dobry mechanizm wheellock , wymaga doświadczenia oraz czasu. - ale warto się uczyć - wytrwać . Czsa mija szybko -
 WARTO w swoim życiu zrobić , przynajmniej jedną rzecz dobrze !).
Work is moving forward :)
