The majority of the antique pieces of my collection utilize Golcher locks. It also seems like Golcher locks are more prolific among the antiques I see for sale.Beautiful rifle! I just bought a rear action Josh Golcher locked rifle at auction. Amazing how his locks found their way into rifles throughout the U.S..
To me that says they were of a good quality, and that had to have been a large company of the time for them to produce and distribute so many.
