I built a wheel lock from a set of Rifle Shoppe castings last year. That was enough for me. Nice work. Kudos to you.

Back in 1989 at the World Police and Fire Games in B.C., only the Police Chief of the Netherlands Rifle Team owned a center-fire rifle. Too arduous & expensive were the requirements to qualify,  although all of them owned match quality .22 LR rifles.

Rolf
The gun is an air rifle.
 
I wanted to make the cock spring stronger that worked but when I
put the cock back it broke the rear lip was too big
made it smaller and a new spring.
Made a new wheel a bit bigger and a bit thicker
and a smooth and a serrated.
Made the mainsprig a bit stronger now it sparks but it was a lot of work
now but the hands heal.
and luckily I still had a barrel lying around that I had made.
make this one swamped.

Hello

I made this wheellock because the wheel and spring are hidden.
On the internet I saw a nicer rifle, also because the stock has more drop.
Only the lock does not seem to be in line with the stock.
The barrel is swamped and with rifling.
Now find a nice piece of walnut wood
