    L & R lock for T.C. Hawkin

    I was at a local gunshow and picked up a L & R lock for a T.C. . My question is this; is it worth the effort to modify the stock for this lock or just keep it till I need a new lock. The price was right and we don't see many blackpowder items in my area. Thats why I got it.
