Double Barrel Flintlock Holster Pistol c1740

Hi all

I appreciate the work that has taken Dana.

The sliding bowl has a cover-like bread wheellocki mechanism, and is governed by two springs, one vertical, which is below the bowl and the other horizontal, holding the cup in position. The hammer, in his half-cock position, can retract the mobile cup to prime the pan set and close the mobile bowl. In turn, once triggered, hooks, by a mechanism that is not visible, the mobile cup back, allowing functions to enter the fixed bowl

Never before, sorry for the translator

I believe that the channel cut into the lower back of the cock plays a roll in releasing the cup which is powered by the horizontal spring at that point.

This might be correct and I thank you very much for your effort to upload these videos. I have never seen such an ingenious system which is more complicated than a wheellock system.

I'd like to contact you privately corrado26, but you have that option turned off.

Try it again

Hi all

Under the principle of parsimony, enunciated by Ockham, everything is easier than it seems.

Indeed, the horizontal spring plays a big function. After having fired the first time, turning backwards nut, engages the horizontal spring, bringing the bread backwards, and release it when the bread has reached its maximum position. The spring then becomes inactive, allowing the second shot.

When the sequence, to take the first pan forward, the spring does not engage with the nut, it is above, and when the hammer reaches full-cock the bread remains in place starts. Only when the nut (hammer) starts its way back, engages the spring, moving the upper bread.

Dana is so?

Hopefully the video makes it a little clearer where the one spring hands off to the other. It is just not too easy to describe.
