This style of matchlock arquebus stock originated from the Petronel form. This was also later phased out due to the appearance of the Wallon stock. The caliber is 20 ga, barrel is smooth. The original of the gun was made in the 1570s and is now in the Museum of Torino.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish.
