Cheek stock guns
Lately I have been looking at guns around the 16th century and I have run across an odd stock style that i am having trouble finding info about. I find pictures of alot of wheellock sporting rifle with it but im wondering if it was used on the battlefield (matchlock or wheellock)? Any info is greatly appreciated. :)
Here is a link to a video of someone who makes and shoots them he has quite a few videos with cheek stock guns both ornate and utilitarian.
