Bill Mowrey of Texas designed and built a mule ear lock. He had a problem with the angle of the sear,  IIRC.  My friend Ken has a couple of Bill's locks,  and the molds for them.  I've tried to get him to let me take the moulds to a foundry,  or buy them out right.  Nothing doing.

I could be mistaken,  but the lock Satwel has looks like Bill's,  and his didn't have a half cock.
I'll try to get pics and measurements.

ETerry,

I'm sure the others will agree,, Very much interested in what you can provide. Since I make a few of these locks, I always like to see how someone
did it ahead of me. Always looking to work smarter, not harder!
