Well done Pitchy! Very thoughtful also.
a Pennsylvanian who has been accused of clinging to my religion and my guns......Good assessment skills.
Re: Key to my heart
That is awesome Pitchy!
I recall my late father having something like that in his lock shop, that he got from his dad; but it got stolen along with some cash, a couple of original Colt revolvers and a few other antique locks many years ago. We also had a couple of brass blackpowder .22 and .32 caliber 1-shot "Jailer Key guns", just like this one:
And yup, those were also stolen...

Loving the Viking lock, Lenn. Keep up the great work!
Re: Key to my heart-locks added.
Thanks Darrel and Bill, that`s a nice looking key pistol.
We got started on one today but it`s going to be clunky compared to that one.

By gum! The first wooden lock was impressive. All these other ones are so much beyond anything I could make that they are just plain amazing.

Re: Key to my heart- gun lock added.
Thanks much fellers, the biggest problem is the V spring getting it tempered right.
Takes three or four hammer blows to set of the cap unless the caps are to small.
Gunny guess it could be used either way.

Awesome job Lenn!
No front sight needed -- that's a GOMG!
GET OFF ME GUN
And back in the day, IF the caliber didn't kill -- then the infections DID. No one wanted to get shot...
Cheers!

Geepers Lenn, are you even getting any sleep? Some great fabrication there. Really impressed with your percussion key pistol. Are you seating the caps hard on the nipple with a wooden dowel?
Re: Key to my heart- gun lock added.
Thanks Bill yep tried that, i need to make a new hammer spring.
I didn`t have any spring steel so it won`t harden and loses power, will make a good spring someday.
