L&R Model# 750: Small Pistol Lock & Parts Set
« on: October 21, 2018, 10:08:57 PM »
Greetings Everyone,
Does anyone have any experiences with L&R's small back-action pistol lock, breech, and associated parts that you are willing to share?  Some of the original back-action pistols have a look that appeals to me.  Might be a future project.

Many Thanks,
Kevin

Here you go: http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=21700.0     The title is "Building a Derringer" by runastav

He used the L&R set to build a nice copy of the small derringer that caused a commotion in Ford's Theater.  On page 2 of the build runastav has a couple of photos showing the finished pistol next to other pistols & you can get a better idea of the lock size for comparison.  You could make a nice belt pistol using the L&R set, too.      Mike
