Can you ID this lock?
« on: March 11, 2024, 02:48:03 PM »
I bought this lock years ago for a pistol build. Long story short, I don't know who made it and a buddy of mine bought an "inexpensive" pistol with very bad lock springs. The spring from my lock fits his perfectly.

The lock has (see 2nd pic) has only one large "L" stamped on the back of the base plate and the same "L" on the bridle. Any help would be appreciated.

What does the other side look like? Looks like siler guts but the lock plate is not a Siler. Maybe a Mold and Gun shop lock....maybe.

Probably a kit lock but it looks good as does the pistol.
