    Can you take 2f or 3f and make it finer to be closer to 4f? Like using a mortar and pestle

    Caywood english fowler lock trigger adjustment.

    I fixed this finally I had to shim the front of the lock plate with a washer. I think at some point inthe past someone tightened it to tight and smashed the wood at the front of the plate. Which caused it to press against the wood and the problem with the sear.

    Current percussion cap source

    If you have or know someone with a 3d printer you can print your own die and just order the compound. That’s what I did but I don’t like the residue the compound leaves behind after firing them.

    What happens When You Accidentally Shoot a Ramrod out of your gun?

    Some people are just unhappy about life. Others enjoy trying to bring a little happiness and maybe new people into the hobby.

    Ok this is great info. Just for the record I bought the gun used. I left a message with caywood to get some info possibly for this gun like approximate year of manufacture and the same question I asked here. I guess I’m a little impatient so I asked here.

    Caywood english fowler lock trigger adjustment.

    Thanks for the helpful ideas i will try that. So I thought Caywood was a decent gun maker? Better than box store models. I will look for that spring on the lock also.

    Caywood english fowler lock trigger adjustment.

    I have a Caywood English Fowler that when the lock is tightened down the cock won't stay cocked. If I loosen the screws a turn or two it will work fine. I believe its alignment with the trigger and the sear. Is there a adjustment on the trigger or would this be on the lock side. I just purchased...
