Any interest in this lock? RCA #138'ish

Chris:  I really appreciate the photo sequence showing your work technique.

Would a John Manton flint lock with the sliding safety be doable? Big enough for 1&1/8 across the flats barrel.

A Chambers Late Ketland with Manton Style internals would work for a John Manton Rifle.
Tom Dawson had a cased one at Friendship and I looked at it closely.The mechanism was
simple,all "business"with no fancy filigree work and very similar to my own version I used
in several of these locks which is the same as my Hawken cap locks used.The slip and slide
safety can be incorporated in this as well.

My pleasure! I know it is redundant to most of the folks here, but I was hoping some my find it interesting.

Chris, Thank you for the post, for a new guy like myself, it answers some questions that I've had!

WHAT became of a fine lock from Canada by John Clark???I saw him about 8 years ago
at the CLA Show in Lexington.Nothing Germanic about it and it seems to me that the
L&R Durs Egg is similar to the Clark but didn't have any logo cast into it.The lock makers
name should be INSIDE the lock,not on the outside.

Bob, I have a set of castings of the Clark English lock. It IS almost a dead ringer for the L&R Durs Egg.

 Are you the guy that assembles the late Ketland locks for Chambers?

No, I do the Early Ketlands. A different builder (maybe builder(s)) does the late model.
