Flintlock lock needed!

[Cannibal Chrispy]

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!

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....

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."

Much too small and wrong period

Thanks Jon! Vintage is building the gun said lock is needed for, so the search continues........

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.
