    Regrets with L and R lock for Traditions?

    Has anyone gotten the L and R replacement flintlock for their traditions rifle and regretted the purchase thinking you didn't get your money's worth? I'm getting frustrated with my factory lock trying to get decent sparks.

    Humpback Flints?

    What exactly are they? I have read a few different posts in my searches about flints and people refer to these but what exactly are they? I assume it is referring to the overall shape where it humps up at the back of the flint where the jaws grab it?

    Adding a bridle?

    How difficult, if possible, would it be to add a bridle to this lock? It's a CVA lock if that helps? I know a bridle was made for CVA locks but didn't know if it fit only certain models.

    Thoughts on this touch hole placement

    I was wondering about the placement of the touch hole in the attached pictures. To me, it seems the height is good but it is placed too far forward. Is this something to be concerned with? Also, a previous owner filed a notch in the pan and I'm not sure the reason. I would understand if the...

    CVA Flintlock Lock Value

    What would be a fair price for a CVA flintlock lock that sparks good? I'm currently considering buying the drop in lock from L and R and was going to sell my factory lock.

    CVA Flintlock ignition issues

    I have an older CVA flintlock that sparks really well and will shoot reliably for the first 30 shots or so. After this, I can't get any ignition in the barrel unless I remove the touch hole liner and sprinkle the tiniest amount of powder inside the barrel, then reinstall the liner. After this...

    J. Linville

    If anyone on here built an old Jukar flintlock rifle and stamped their name (J. Linville) with the year MCMLXXXI (1981) on the trigger guard, just thought you would like to know that the gun is still in good shape and shoots great.

    Wheel weight lead question

    Yes. Another one but I haven't been able to find an answer to my question. From what I have read, wheel weights lead is harder than pure lead and might be a couple thousandths oversized (instead of being .440, it might be .443) my question is, what does a harder lead do to the bore that makes...

    Wheel weight lead in smoothbore

    I have a large supply of lead I melted down from wheel weights. Would this lead be fine for a smoothbore for target shooting? I know it's not favorable for rifled barrels because it's harder than pure lead but thought it would work for smoothbores. I thought about even trying my hand at making...

    Thompson Center Breech Plug

    I'm wanting to make a shotgun barrel for my thompson center new englander. I'm having a hard time finding a breech plug for the new englander. Does anyone know if the hawken breech plugs are the same?

    Scope mount hole fix

    I was recently given a TC New Englander that the previous owner drilled for scope mounts. The problem is they drilled all of the way through the top of the barrel. My question is, would it be safe if I installed a screw with loctite the same thickness as the barrel where it didn't stick out the...

    Thompson Center Percussion rifle

    I need some help identifying this Thompson Center rifle. It doesn't have a model name on it. Also, would cutting and putting a bow tie joint fix the Crack in the stock or is the stock junked? The crack does go all the way through.

    Upgrade Jukar kit gun or buy different rifle?

    I have an older .45 cal jukar kentucky rifle. The rifle is the same as the newer traditions. I was thinking of doing some upgrades such as an L and R lock and get a set of double triggers. If I did this, I would have roughly $425 total invested in the rifle which is what I have seen people...
