SILER LOCK ORIGINS
« on: March 18, 2009, 09:26:26 PM »
I have misplaced my references on this--does anyone remember the specific rifle Bud Siler used as a model for the famous Germanic  lock he made [now of course, Chambers]?  I remember reading two opinions--one that he "copied" a lock on a 1780s vintage Lancaster [Isaac Haines?]  and the other was that it was a Dickert.

The lock Bud Siler copied is on the really prestine Isaac Haines rifle.
