LnRs Queen Anne is a great looking lock, she just needs a lot of work, unless you want to skin squirrels with it.
If they tuned them the way we want them it would double the price.
Last time I used an LnR lock it was a little more work than a Chambers and a Lot more work than a Kibler.
Like you I’ll use an LnR Queen Anne on my next pistol, in my dealings with the Company I’ve found them very responsive and reasonable.
 
Hatchet Jack,

Can you show folks the guts of your lock as well please?
Don\t think I have any photos of mine.
Sure make me take my gun apart lol!

Ok here's three Chambers locks. Top to bottom Deluxe Silver, Dale Johnson, and the Colonial VA. I haven't touched the top two yet.

I'll be keeping the as-cast texture and browning it. It will match the rusty, crusty, pitted finish of the antique barrel
Polish the lock. Then age it back or leave it a little rough. The old folks didn't have sandblasters to put that "as made at the factory" finish on the locks.

I appreciate your input.

If you saw the barrel, you'd see why I want as much texture as possible on all the parts I install. It's one ugly barrel.

It will go against every fiber of my being, but I'll probably age the stock as well. Ding up a newly made stock will make me want to throw up a little.
 
Stunning carving. Thank you.

As a craftsman, I wear many hats. The hats I can never get to fit properly are the hand engraving hat and the painting on canvas hat.

It all looks contrived and slipshod. We all have our limitations I guess.
