Locks I may be able to copy.

Gents,
I think I could manage a copy of these locks.
Note the sear arrangement!
First pictures are of a lock from Finland, 1880's...but going way back.
Second lock, no idea.
Neither are mine.

Remarkable in their simplicity. Sort of matchlocks, updated just a bit.

Adaptations of the Scandinavian-Siberian snaplock mechanism to percussion ignition. It might be possible to narrow down the origin of the unknown one based on the way the spring pushes up instead of down on the hammer - there were regional variations in the way this was accomplished, but but I don't know what they were.

There doesn't seem to be much on Scandinavian and Siberian-Russian weapons in English. This is a pity, because as far as I can tell these areas were one of the few places on the Eurasian continent that rural common folks could hunt and trap for fun and subsistence, so these guns, despite the very different design, filled much the same roles as did the longrifle over here.

What did the complete rifle or gun look like?

Richard,

Top lock is froma Finnish small -bore hunting rifle.
Cheek stock of a rather strange shape.  Bore between 7 and 8 mm.

What a strange looking gun. I wonder if it was meant to be fired from other than the shoulder.

It's a cheek stock, Richard.
Very cumbersome looking 'cheek' to it though.

Looks like someone was smoking something we never had any of

Awesome! Would look great with your matchlock from a few years ago!
