Does anyone know of a current source for back action locks? Looking for a set of either new or functional used locks for an upcoming project.

Thanks,

KW

Might not be easy unless they come off a scrapper. I might be able to lay my hands on some as I was offered some rough guns by a Dealer recently to see if I wanted any to de-activate into wall pieces before he sent them for scrap. That is if they haven't already gone. However, I do have a pair of bar action locks that came of a Midland Gun Co. Farmer's model hammer gun. The gun was in superb condition but some idiot had left it leaning at the side of a vehicle and it got run over smashing the stock and bending the barrels like a banana. The only bits to survive were the locks which are still fully colour hardened. I removed them and put them on one side some years ago. Lagopus.....

Never can tell what Peter Dyson has in his junk box. He will be in this country in November.

Lagopus-

Let me know if you're able to get your hands on some, the bar actions will not work for this project unfortunately.

Thanks,

KW

If you consider LC Smith hammerless to be back actioned, as I do-I might be able to help you out.

KWood, does the project require hammer locks for a percussion centre fire breech loader or for some other type of gun? www.henrykrank.com sell locks of various types for muzzle loading gun projects. If you can send me a pm with a bit more info I may be able to ask around the gun trade. Lagopus.....
