SO - I was up early before the sun greeted us. Got my breakfast and a big cup of coffee and headed for the back patio where I watched the sun come up on a glorious 48 degree morning. After watching the world wake up and birds starting to move around, it was time - time to go shoot.
Off to the local range with the gun wearing it's new lock - about a 16 minute drive - and another 30 minutes to have another cup of coffee with the rangemaster and solve the worlds problems with anarchists and commies. We have the answer - but that's for another thread....
I settled down on the bench and started giving the new L&R 900 lock a good workout. WOW! This lock performs. It throws a good shower and ignites fast. Lock to boom was very close to cap and ball speed. I'm impressed with the lock and it's good manners. A couple of cronnies drifted in and 2 of them wanted a round of white smoke so they shot it too.
Somewhere around ball number 30 or 35 I had the first failure to ignite the pan. SO - I took the time to wipe the frizzen and flint down with windex to get enough soot off to see what the problem was. Well - the soot seemed to be the problem....
Another 10 or 15 ball and the sparks began diminishing. So I turned the flint over and finished off the balls - total shots somewhere around 60 or so -
I am impressed with the L&R lock, and very happy with the function, dependability and the kindness it shows the flint.
The homemade set screw liner works great too.
Sorry I did not get any pictures, I left my phone-camera- in the garage at home.
Overall - I am now home - everything is cleaned, the range box is re-stocked for the next trip and I am settling down to read the forums and have a nice cold Kolch.....
LIFE - is good!
