    Lock ID help

    Thanks for the replies guys. Bubba I have a couple of CVA percussion guns and the rifle lock plate is very close to this lock. Might see if I can find an old CVA lock and it might fit. Patch thanks. I googled the Jukars and didn't find one quite like this. The grip is different, and I didn't see...

    Lock ID help

    Does anyone know the maker of this lock? It needs a frizzen, if not complete replacement. At some point someone has taken a file to it.

    Two 45 light load questions

    Hi all.... I have a .45 flint, 42", that I've pulled out recently after probably a ten year hiatus. It's a TVM poor boy from the early 90's. I was wondering about reduced loads and how small a ball I can use, practically speaking, or maybe better to ask what is the thickest patch that can be...
