I've used both the Chambers' Golden Age and the Dale Johnson on Lancasters but slightly prefer the Dale Johnson. Don't like the Chambers' Deluxe Siler because it is more difficult to align in the lock panel....the tail sometimes  doesn't fit well w/ the wrist. The top pic is a Dale Johnson and the bottom a Golden Age....both from Chambers.....Fred

For your rifle I would use the Larry Zornes Classic style flintlock - check Muzzleloader Builder Supply -#LK-VR-003
