Who made this lock?

Here is a lock that I have had for awhile but I can not remember where I picked it up or bought it. It is a very well made lock and is stamp R&R on the inside of the plate. I would love to pick up another on of these so if you guys can help me remember who made this lock I would appreciate it. This lock has a slot milled into the center of the tumber for the fly, this is a much better system than on some of the other locks.

Bob Roller is this one of your locks?

don't know who made it but i really like it

It looks like one of the locks that Rice Barrel co had for sale at Dixon's last summer. BJH

[Bob Roller]

Not one of mine.

The internals look like L&R Durs Egg.  Maybe it's a composite.

[Don Stith]

R&R is definitely a rice barrel product.  Not sure if it is still available
 The Rice brothers were the original owner of L&R locks so not surprising there would be similarities

[Dennis Glazener]

Like Don said definitely by the Rice Bros. LC and Liston. If I am not mistaken this is the same lock that Liston had for sale at the CLA show this past summer. He found several locks and a couple of double set triggers that were packed away.

I wish I had bought one or two of the locks but someone else did before I finally made up my mind to buy them.

Thanks everyone, I figured it was a Rice but I could not remembered where I picked it up at. To bad they don't make these anymore, it is a nice lock. I am using it on a current project and I sure would like to have another to replace it with.

Liston Rice and a friend designed and made this lock. I don't think Rice barrels was involved or at least Jason who now owns Rice barrels probably wasn't involved. Back on Aug. 23 this lock was discussed on the forum. I will give you the same advice I gave then be careful the bolster is short and lock bolt placement must be carefully planned or you will have a problem. The arc of the tumbler arm limits the length of the bolster. Tim

Tim I remember talking to you when I visited about that, did I get this lock from you?

[sqrldog]

I think so. Advice is still good
