Title: C. Bird & Company, Phila. Warranted Lock
Post by: MKemper on April 30, 2009, 05:04:33 PM

I am preparing to build a copy of a John Dreisbach original that has a C. Bird & Company flintlock.  Can anyone recommend a close match for this lock?

You'll have to make one.

TRS might have a suitable parts set.
