I picked up one of the "Dale Johnson" Siler locks today at Friendship from Jim Chambers. I got the one with the same cock he uses on the "Deluxe" Siler but you can get it with the standard Siler cock as well. It is really a great looking lock that can give you a little alternative look, and after getting it home and looking at it really close I am just so impressed at the quality and feel of this lock. Nothing surprising I know - Jim's stuff is always good - but this lock is just super. I am told that LC Rice assembles these as well as the late Ketland.
The Kentucky Corps of Longriflemen raffle gun is a beautiful Mike Miller gun with a modified Dale Johnson lock - he rounded the pan and sculpted the bridle - it looks super and I intend to try the same on this one.
