    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Lee Shaver is a consistently nice fellow, and honest about his limitations. He only charged me for one hour of labor, although it took much longer. He had to make two parts. I have tried it... works much better. I need to carve out a bit of the recess in the stock to fit it properly with the new...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Today, I finally received my repaired Pedersoli lock from Lee Shaver. It only took a bit less than 7 years.

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Thanks folks. No replacement locks or parts are available from Pedersoli. It's a 1977 rifle. They discontinued that lock. Also, no replacement locks are available. I could ask Lee Shaver to return it, so that I can try all the things ya'll have mentioned. However, every time I speak to him, he...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Four and a half years, that's how long Lee Shaver has had my lock. Every time I call him, he says he will get to it. Mondays are when he takes calls, so I think I will call one more time and see if anything has changed. Time to ask him to send it back to me, so I can get another expert to give...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Been three and a half years... still waiting. I'm only posting this in the hope that someone who knows Lee Shaver will talk him into getting it done. I like the rifle, but no replacement lock is available. He agreed to fix it, and now he has been sitting on it for a long time. Happy New Year!

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Spoke to Lee Shaver last week. He believes the lock will be repaired this week. His regular job finally slowed down, giving him an opportunity to work on me lock. Real nice fellow, as always!

    2 day renewal, Spanish flintlock kit gun

    Last week a friend gave me this no name 45 cal flintlock after he took it apart. He was gonna refurbish it, but I liked it so much, he let me have it before he did anything more than purchase an oak dowel for a ramrod. It's just an old Spanish flintlock kit, probably a Jukar but it only has a...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    I wish it were that simple. Of course, I tried more powder in the pan, among many other suggestions, before sending it to Mr. Shaver. Pedersoli said that my rifle dates to 1977, so the new locks won't fit, and parts are no longer available for the original lock. If a new lock were to fit, it...

    I sent Pedersoli Customer Service a note: They replied this morning: I like their approach!

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    I sent email to Pedersoli just now, asking how to get a replacement lock. That's a good idea. I would have done that a year ago, but I have another flintlock rifle! Can't wait to get this nice Pedersoli shootin'...

    I just wrote a nice letter to Lee... ...if you know him, and have a chance to mention it to him, I would appreciate any words that might help motivate Lee. Thank you!

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Well, it's now been a year since I sent my lock to Lee Shaver. Last time I spoke with him, he said I would have it next week. That was almost two months ago. Stand by!

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Ya'll are kind to offer suggestions... but the lock has been with Lee Shaver since last August. I spoke with him again today. He said he tinkers with it when he can, but it still isn't working to his satisfaction. My $100 Pedersoli is going to end up with a first class lock. I just have no idea...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    I wish my problems were that simple. Spoke with Lee Shaver again on Friday... he said that there are several problems, that perhaps it was not worth fixing to begin with, but he is going to fix it because he's hard headed like that. He assured me that he's not going to charge much. He's working...

    first deer with flintlock

    Yep, I'm hooked. When I get my Pedersoli lock back, which should be soon, I'll see if I can get a buck with it as well. The problem is, I have five vintage leverguns that each deserve a buck!

    first deer with flintlock

    Got a 120 lb 3 pointer at 25 yards yesterday morning with a Lyman Deerstalker 50 caliber flintlock. (Sorry, pics are on my friend's camera...) The little fellow was so quick, in the time between the noise of the hammer strike and the ka-boom! he crouched and turned away. The blind was way up...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    The problem with that was that his web site had a typo in the number. Found the right one, finally, on another page. The frizzen is hard. I found that out when I hit it with a file. Lee confirmed that. Turns out there were several bent screws, which slow the pivot. He's working on it, and will...

    replacing lock on Pedersoli Kentucky

    Well, I'd like to report the results of having the lock checked by Lee Shaver... but it's been with him since the end of July, and he's not responding to email messages. Thinkin' I need to write a letter...
