Flintlock Flintlock is the general term for any firearm based on the flintlock mechanism. The term may also apply to the mechanism itself. Introduced at the beginning of the 17th century, the flintlock rapidly replaced earlier firearm-ignition technologies, such as the doglock, matchlock, and wheellock mechanisms.ost flintlocks were produced at a time before modern manufacturing processes became common. Even in mass-produced weapons, parts were often handmade. If a flintlock became damaged, or parts wore out due to age, the damaged parts were not easily replaced.

Gun Timeline Historical timeline of the development of modern weapons starting at 1364 with the first recorded use of a firearm and ending in 1892 with the introduction of automatic handguns. 1364 - First recorded use of a firearm. 1380 - Hand guns are known across Europe. 1400s-The matchlock gun appears.Before the matchlock, guns were fired by holding a burning wick to a touch hole in the barrel igniting the powder inside.A shooter uses one hand for firing, and a prop to steady the gun.The first device, or lock, for mechanically firing a gun is the matchlock.879 - Lee box magazine patented. 1892- Advent of automatic handguns. The first automatic pistol was created by Joseph Laumann in 1892. But the Borchardt pistol of 1893 was the first automatic with a separate magazine in the grip, and this remains the defining feature of the breed.

Patrick Ferguson’s breech-loading flintlock rifle, used to a limited extent in the American Revolution, were available.

Arming America: when did we become a gun culture? When it came to guns, they mostly repaired them. The few who did make guns were assembling parts that came from Europe. There was no one in America, prior to the 1790s, who could make a gunlock, the part that actually fires the gun. There was only one mill that made gunpowder--and it went out of business in 1750.

- Includes those firearms manufactured in Ferlach, Austria from 1558 to present. The Ferlach Guild (Genossenschaft) represented most of Ferlach's gunmakers until it was dissolved in 2004. Many people mistakenly believe that Ferlach is a trademark-it is not. Rather, it is a small village in Austria where a gun guild was started as early as 1558. At that time, it was absolutely necessary that all the people involved in fabricating a firearm were located together in close proximity.

The Cast Iron Plow The plow evolved from the all-wood designs of antiquity, to the use of iron parts. In 1720, the first English patent for a wooden moldboard sheathed with iron was issued to Joseph Foljambe. From that the evolution to plows made with cast iron moldboards and shares occurred in Scotland in 1785 by James Small. These cast iron plows were then imported to the U.S. Charles Newbold, born in Chesterfield, NJ (1780), spent his teenage years investigating the use of cast iron to improve on the heavy iron-clad wooden plow then available. He was issued the first US patent for a plow on 26 Jun 1797.

When was the screw invented, by whom, and for what purpose? The screw was later described by the Greek mathematician Archytas of Tarentum (428 – 350 BC). By the 1st century BC, wooden screws were commonly used throughout the Mediterranean world in devices such as oil and wine presses. Metal screws used as fasteners did not appear in Europe until the 1400s. In 1770, English instrument maker, Jesse Ramsden (1735-1800) invented the first satisfactory screw-cutting lathe. The British engineer Henry Maudslay (1771-1831) patented a screw-cutting lathe in 1797; a similar device was patented by David Wilkinson in the United States in 1798. In 1908, square-drive screws were invented by Canadian P. L. Robertson, becoming a North American standard.
