What kind of lock and barrel did Brooks use?

Flanders · Feb 4, 2023

It’s a Larry zornes Germanic lock, and a colerain bbl, rifled by Bobby Hoyt .

Those are my mounts I get cast from the local foundry. The side plates I cut out and engraved ala Kuntz. The barrel was originally a .50 smooth bore when I sold it. Hoyt does an excellent job of rifling so this should be a real shooter. BTW, I haven't made a gun in a year and may not ever again, so there is at this time a finite number of my guns around now. You need some pictures of the carving, I think it's fully carved.

Sorry to hear you aren’t building guns. Your work was impeccable! I have one of your Klette Virginia’s

Will open up to shipping, buyer pays shipping and however much they want to insure this fine gun for.

D.Summers · Feb 13, 2023

Sorry, again, terrible pics! How about a shot, close up, of the whole rifle? I can see parts of the gun, but no pics of the whole rifle, except for a distant photo!
