18th Century Wheellock Rifle

The wheellock mechanism was developed to eliminate the need of a burning ember to ignite the gunpowder. This wheel, once wound, would create a spark, much like a modern lighter. This beautiful reproduction is expertly made of wood, metal and intricate brass working parts. Made in Spain. NOTE: This gun is made of a lightweight alloy with a blocked barrel. It cannot be made to fire any type of projectile.
