    Lock I.D.

    Navy Arms Charleville Questions.

    Amen on the stock. I am not a fan of the stock. Straight is more than a description. I am not familiar with the other stocks from TRS and Dunlap.

    Green River Forge NW trade gun

    The trade gun lock that RE Davis listed for years was a replacement for the Lott lock that hat a hit and miss reputation at the time. I am sure costs of replacement parts worked in there too.
