This is a nice full size matchlock musket from the Pierre Cayla Collection and is almost identical to the one in the Army Museum in Paris used by the Kings Musketeer’s. The barrel is 46" long, octagon to round, in .75 or .77 caliber. Even this size gun is still fairly light weight, weighing only 8 1/4 pounds. One nice thing about these early matchlocks is that almost all countries used about the same stock style until quite late, so you can use the same gun in different areas of collecting and reenacting. We also have remade the lock in a left hand version below for you south paw’s. The lock plate measures 8" x 1". You can taper it, put double angles on it or leave it as they are. You can use a trigger or trigger lever with this lock. The pan set is sold separately.
* Included in a Set of Lock Castings. |

We stock many items, but each item is custom cast or made by us to the exact specifications of the originals parts, we have copied. Due to the investment casting process which we use there are sometimes delays due to this process which in turn requires patience from our customers, the average delivery time on our parts is between 60 and 90 days, if the parts you order are not in stock. We assure you that the quality of our parts is well worth any wait, as many of the items we make have never been offered by anyone before. If you are serious about the authenticity of your weapon then the time will be a small price to pay. Many of the pictures shown on this web site are of original pieces. We do not sell any original pieces on this web site only reproduction's of the original parts we have copied. If the item description does not say assembled then you are buying the castings of that particular item.
