Matchlocks
Welcome to my website, I recently became interested in building a Matchlock. I had a hard time finding the info I needed. The following info was sent to me by Mr. James Levy. I thought this info would be helpful to others building Matchlocks, not to mention those interested in the history of firearms. I have been given permission to post this info here. Many thanks to Mr. Levy.
