Loyalist Arms
is pleased to introduce our
Doglock Blunderbuss for 2005.
Due to popular demand, we have
developed the blunderbuss made
famous by the likes of Blackbeard,
William Kidd, and other pirates,
not to mention many a sailor,
privateer and coachman. This
model dates from the late 17th
Century to the early 18thC.
Some of these tough guns survived
right into the early 19thC.
A perfect accessory for your
next cruise to the Carib Sea.
These blunderbuss'
were rather plain in design,
without an entry ram rod thimble
or side plate.
The butt plate is simply bent
flat iron. Most were nailed
on, however ours is screwed
on,
(like later models), for ease
of removal.
Barrel is brass and is 16 inch
long in 10Ga.
The lock plate
is over 7 1/2 inch long, and
is fastened with 3 side bolts,
just like the originals. Frizzen
is unbridled. Many similar lock
assemblies have been excavated
at Port Royal Jamaica over the
last few years.
All hardware
is copied from an original.
Later versions had side plates
of various designs.
Typical, simple
trigger guard of the 1600's,
that would continue to be used
on sea service muskets up to
the late 1700's. Tang bolt threads
into the breech plug tang from
under the stock, just front
of the trigger, like originals.
