Mike, fire is always directed to the strongest point, so if you, TG and some of the others are catching a lot of arrows it must mean you are doing something right. Keep up the good work guys. Whether everyone knows it or not, guys like you are the backbone of the hobby. :wink:

For everybody on the thread who was following the discussion of the locks and their performance, here was the email response from Jim Chambers:
"All of our locks will be within one or two milliseconds of each other in actual lock time. More time variation will show up in the style of touch hole than in the lock.
The Early Germanic lock is certainly one that would have been found on an early Lancaster rifle. But, either of the other locks you mentioned would have been available from the 1775 and later periods. If I had to bet money on one lock or another giving trouble free performance I would place my money on the Deluxe Siler or the Golden Age lock. However, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them."
