What lock is this
« on: January 24, 2019, 01:17:29 AM »
Just bought a gun yet another gun I don't need. But it has both percussion and Flintlock locks and they are interchangeable..
 Question: what or who made these locks? has the fish mark inside.

It was built by Homer Sales.  I have a small Siler built by him, and it is a fine lock.

Yes, Homer Sales. Homer is a good old friend. He built many fine locks.

The lock looks like a Siler from what I can see.  Dunno if it's the large or the small.  And yes, built by Homer Sales.

Wow, look how high that lock bolt is.  I missed one recentlty like that, but low.  In fact, my hole was thru the bolster to the inside.  I don't think it hurts a thing?  But I re-did it.
