I only hope I can help someone out on here someday. Whetrock rescued my squirrel season!

The little foot that pivots on the frizzen spring broke on my DGW .32 mountain rifle today, hoping someone might have one laying around? $1-$25? Shipped. Coming up empty on the DGW site.

How about an entire lock for ?  $12.  That’s the cost of a small flatrate box &
change.
Sorry it took me so long, I just couldn’t lay my hands on it. Here is the back side
of lock to confirm ID. It appears to have never been installed.  You can have
it for shipping cost & a few cents if you want a spare lock.  It don't spark worth
a hoot but it may give you some spare parts. 

PM your address to me if you want it.

This is a spin off on the Chet Shoults lock from the 1950's Log Cabin may have this style of frizzen and they own/owned all the moulds from Jerry Devaudruel DBA International Arms Co.

Your recall never ceases to amaze me Bob, thanks for that tidbit.

On a good day I have the IQ of an oyster and the rest of the time,a potted plant :'(

Just a follow up on Log Cabin, I drove over last week for some other needed items and inquired about the lock in question. No parts at all in their inventory.

I am mailing you a lock today. But I feel you want to USE the rifle, you should
consider finding a quality replacement lock. 
If a reshaped Chambers Siler Gunmakers lock would replace it, that would be a
exceptional choice. Or a Late Ketland would serve as well. I didn't even think to
put it beside one & see how much dif. there is, & I have all 3 loose here. But a
replacement lock would be advantageous & save allot of aggravation. That is all
a poor function lock accomplishes,  aggravation.

The Chambers Late Ketland is a fine lock as it is and I have used the external parts as a platform for a custom mechanism.

I have a Chambers Late Ketland for a build I have in progress (my first) and I’ll have to do a side by side comparison. I realized that these imported components are what they are.

Oh, you can have a dang good shooting rifle, ruined buy a crappy
lock & ruin the day.
Especially deer hunting.  Or fighting with it all day at the range.

I decided Many years ago I am NOT fighting locks. I do Not want to work
on a lock. I buy it, I expect it to work.
