    Numrich Swivel breech ..Lock question

    Olut, Received the spring a few days ago. However, seems my customers wanted to clear their shelfs of materials for work in progress. Naturally they expect completed work back when the holidays are over, so I've been busy. Spent time today on the lock. Had the same problem with both...

    Thanks for the replies. I took it off the rifle today to clean and oil. It looks very well made and it sparks great. Now need to find some 4f powder. Will try Bob Roller on the offer forums. So far, this is the only one I have been on. Have A Great Holiday! W.Z

    Roller lock ..need someone to enlighten me.

    Just received my first flintlock which I will be taking pictures and adding further discussion of in the future. However, to begin with I would like to find out more about the lock which appears to have the name "Roller" stamped on it. The first R is half gone but I don't believe it is...

    Numrich Swivel breech ..Lock question

    Thanks Oult and Grimord for your responses. It does appear the spring is too short and keeps popping out of the bridle circle when the hammer is pulled back plus the spring doesn't really sit in that "L" shaped backing very well. We never know what the previous owner might have changed or if it...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Hit the key once too often at an online auction. So, I will soon be the proud owner of an over and under .45 Cal. Percussion rifle. Shoot once twist the barrel and take a second shot, .... if missing both times reload and try again. Winning price wasn't that bad but the auction % charged and...

    information on Lock Manufacturers ????

    Hatchet-Jack, Thanks for the TOW suggestion. While I've owned a B/P revolver since my teen years I've only within the last 9 months or so started down the rabbit hole with a renewed interest in shooting B/P. I am well into my seventies so it's taken a while; but Iam making up for...

    information on Lock Manufacturers ????

    Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll just have to wait until I come across a given lock "name" & ask here about who built it. There is a lot of knowledge floating around here. WZ

    information on Lock Manufacturers ????

    Is there a similar book or reference guide to lock manufacturers such as the "American Gunsmiths;" which would provide information on Flint and percussion lock manufacturers. I have seen names given here for people that provide locks for different rifles being built. I would like to research...
