Cannibal Chrispy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Do you have a flintlock lock lying about? In good working condition? That needs a good home and is reasonably priced? If so, please let me know! Illustration courtesy of Patrick Hand, and his Pyrate Comix. To see comic in it's entirety, click below http://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=13374 All rights reserved.

wes1761 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I might have a lock for an old trade gun, if I can just find it! Workshop looks like Ted Kazinski used it for test runs.....I'll advise after I get off duty at 1600 hrs.... If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....

Iron Jon Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 There's one on GunBroker bidding at $25 right now or buy-it-now for $75. "Here is an Unused CVA Flintlock, LOCK. It is new/old stock. It has a fly for double triggers and a screw for sear adjustment. It measures 1 inch by 5 inches. This lock can take 1 or 2 screws to hold it in place. It will fit on a stock that has one lock bolt, or two. Note: the frizzen is hardened and ready to use, it is in the white. These locks have an anti rust agent on them, so they might seem a little sticky." Jonathan Washbourne "Jonathan Washbourne Junr of Bridgwater appeared in court and was ordered to pay £5 fees and charges or be publicly whipped 20 stripes for his abusive and uncivil behaviour to Elizabeth Canaday Late of said Bridgwater by Thrusting up or putting of a skunk under the Cloaths to her Naked Body And then saying he had Done the office of a midwife."

Cascabel Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks to everyone who has helped on this, I appriciate your time! Ahoy, Chrispy.... In response to your message....... For some reason the system would not let me reply direct to you. I used early model Brown Bess locks on the blunderbusses that I built. I don't have any spare locks on hand. You can probably get a lock from Track of the Wolf, or The Rifle Shoppe (if you don't mind waiting forever and being outright lied to about delivery times). You can make a replacement lockplate and use the internal parts if you want a different looking lock, and even a different style of cock. I like the Brown Bess lock because of the excellent geometry. ( this does not apply to India-made repros). There are also good repro French musket locks available from the same sources. Any of the large musket locks would likely suit your purpose. >>>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
