    FOR SALE Zoli 1803 Harpers Ferry Converted Lock and Spare Parts

    Was cleaning out a drawer on my workbench and came across this lock. Twenty years ago or so, I bought a NIB Zoli 1803 Harpers Ferry Rifle.

    As a follow up, the rifle arrived last Friday and I spent a few hours making a repair to the toe of the stock where a previous repair was separating at the glue line. On Sunday afternoon, I drove 35 minutes to my club range and spent three hours shooting this .40 and my .20 ga Po-Boy. I started...
