 Hope you guys can help Runarstava.

He put in a backorder With TOTW  for :
1 LOCK-HP 494895 Lock, Hawken pistol, percussion, by R. E. Davis Company, $105.00 11/05/2014
1 PLUG-HP-15-5 494895 Breechplug & tang $40.99 11/05/2014

He's waited 2 years, and still no part?  Any suggeustions where he can find them?

He should contact TOW and see what the problem is. Our suppliers can only deliver as fast as there suppliers can fill there  orders. Quality parts are not made in China and a lot of our suppliers are 1-2 ma operations.

I have been waiting for a years for the same plug. Different supplier. I am told the man who makes these is moving his factory and it will be a while until the supply comes back. Dan

Thank you
 He shows some nice work.  As far as I know the maker of that breech is not back in business yet.

Might try an ad in the Items for sale/wanted section. Maybe someone has them laying around and not going to use them.

Here's an idea.TOW's catalog says they have all the replacement parts needed
to fix one of these locks. Buy one of each and make up a lock and then either make
or try to find a breech. I have plate patterns for this lock but no desire to make it
again.

Hi all, Keb it is 15/16"  and Clark B I see on your webside (Sorry no international orders)And Bob, TOTW was out of stock  in hawken Lock parts :(
In photo you see a very very nice pistol Mike Nesbitt is writing in Muzzleloader July/August 2015 made by Ted Fellowes. So I like to make one ala this maby a Hawken/Mounten gun  and use a Coulcher lock same as on my Leman.

Are there (Specs) out there?  He is a machinist, but, I'd hate for him to have to make his own parts. Again....

Runar, I'm sorry. I didn't know that MLBS did not ship international orders. Is there anyone that could help you get the parts you need?
