l and r locks get one of there lpr replacements. it will cost the same as a cva lock and is 200 times better. http://lr-rpl.com/index.php?option...tions-lock-small&catid=36:cva-small&Itemid=62 small lock http://lr-rpl.com/index.php?option...tions-lock-large&catid=36:cva-small&Itemid=62 large lock

Keep your eyes peeled on ebay.

Some companies make direct replacemrnt locks that are better than factory.

Numrich gun parts might have parts.

Whats wrong with the lock. Might not even need parts to fix, or a $10 part.

I took the lock off because i could not get the set trigger to engage, i saw that someone had tried to adjust the sear screw and stripped the head. It will fire with the front trigger also not enough power to push the frizzen forward. [I cant spell] so i just feel it would be better to replace the whole lock with a better one. I hope to find 1 that will match the cut out of the stock The rifle is in great shape in every other way.

it sounds as though the lock may be binding up internally, or there may be something wrong with the main spring, or the flint set, or perhaps the frizzen spring.

I suspect that you're in a sort of catch 22, writ large: you can replace the lock outright, at great expense, or you can tinker with it (and probably mess up some parts and replace them and thus get smart on your own) at great expense, or you can take it to a gunsmith who knows their way around flintlocks at great expense. yes, a pattern is developing here: the "great expense" thing ...

I would tinker with it, break some parts, eventually figure it out, and spend more than the whole thing is worth, but then again, I never did have much use for cost efficiency, and I love to take stuff apart -- that's just me ...

if you could post some photos ... also, does the lock function properly when it's been removed from the rifle? this would be symptomatic of other problems ...

:hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Get the L&R replacement lock available at track of the wolf. The CVA penn. rifle was a great rifle one piece stock, 42 inch bbl. or close to it. The only problem was that CVA lock.

The set trigger problem is a trigger problem. You need to fix and replace two things.

Your going to need a lock or lock repair and either use the main trigger or replace and fixe the trigger.

Is there rust on the back side of the lock parts. Could just need to be taken apart and oiled.

A stripped screw is fixed by tapping a bigger hole with a bigger screw.

MY favorite firearm is the one I fixed up myself.

Might be interested in buying the old lock, if it's complete and I see a pic of it. That troublesome trigger would be good too.

I'd like to make an affordable RH flintlock to loan out to newbie northpaws.

You don't get good with these guns if you don't figure them out.
