Source for Matchlock/wheellock arms?

Ken Cook · December 2, 2000, 11:23 PM

I'm desperate, I've been searching for a source for either parts,kits, or finished reproduction arms with either matchlocks or wheellocks.
I've found a couple places online that ostensibly offer them for sale, but have none in stock and don't know when they WILL have them in stock due to "unreliable parts sources."
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried the Rifle Shoppe? If you don't have their address, let me know (never mind the phone, they're small and it's tough on them to break away from the workbench to answer it).

Never heard of them, and yes I'd appreciate an address.
Thanks!

Their 1999 catalog is $10 and worth every penny. They've got German, Dutch, Swiss wheellocks listed, several matchlocks and snaphaunces.
