Pistol Lock castings
« on: July 26, 2021, 05:37:19 PM »
I am preparing molds for the Pistol mounts intended for my NMLRA seminar. I am curious if there is enough interest in a nice pistol lock to justify the construction of molds. I might just do the external parts and plan for folks to use small Siler internals.

I'd be interested in one or two sets depending on price. I'm also interested in the brass castings depending on price.

Best regards
Rolf

Hi Ron,
What is the length of the plate?  I assume you are casting in the chiseled decoration or could some waxes be done with the externals smooth?

Ron, I'd be interested in the chiseled pistol lock AND the brass furniture as well.

I'm in for two pistol locks.  If they look like the pics you are showing I can't say no.

Ron, you know I'll be in for the pistol molds.  At least two.

I am away from home until later today. I will measure the lock and post the dimensions. Yes, these would be cast with the decorative details.

Dave,

The lock plate is 4 5/8 inches long. The lock would have the decoration cast into it. If you were interested, I could send you waxes that you could carve smooth and have cast smooth.

I would be glad to get two of these. I would also love to get the brass fittings as well.
