No not yet. I will make an announcement on ALR though.

Thanks,

I’ve got a Brennan gun heading this way in the mail. Jud put one of those tiny Ditchburn locks on it. I’ll post pictures when it gets here.

Hey All,

Just an update. The Kempton Gunbuilder's Fair was great. We had Ditchburn/Beck locks for sale there. Not as many as I would have liked, but again, we were scrambling to get everything together in time for the show.

Unfortunately I was only able to be there on Saturday as we had an emergency back home and left Saturday night. I have not yet talked to LC who was there for the whole show. Hopefully I can catch up with him today and see if we have any locks left over for those who have put their names on the list.

We are going to get another run of parts in the works as there appears to be a healthy market for the Ditchburn/Beck!

It was great to see everyone. Thank you all so much for your interest and feedback.

Best,

Chris E.

Very nice looking locks.  Anyone wanting a lock a bit smaller than the large Siler (JP Beck seemed to use smaller locks) should check thus one out.

I picked up one of these locks from Chris at the Gun Maker's Fair. The lock is very smooth, sparks well, and looks outstanding. I highly recommend this lock.

J Shingler,

The Standard Ditchburn-Beck lock is 4 3/4 in. long.

Not to confuse things but we will be coming out with what Stan Hollenbaugh called the "Early Beck" too. It is 4 15/16 long.

Best,
