Leonard Day swivel breach rifle
« on: January 07, 2018, 10:07:26 PM »
I have an original 50 cal. Leonard Day swivel breach percussion rilfe made in 1989, with tapered barrels, I would like to convert it to flint lock. Any suggestions where I can get the necessary parts?

Leonard is still in business and somewhat active building guns. His son Jon works in the shop some also. I spoke hem at Dixon’s this year. Unfortunately I don’t have a phone number and I don’t think he has a web site. You’ll have to replace the front half of the lock on both sides, replace the percussion hammer and remove the drums and install touch hole liners.
Good luck
