This is a set of flintlock castings listed as part #600 from The Rifle Shoppe (TRS) which they call a Wilson Trade Gun lock. Note that it has features that indicate a much higher quality lock - internal bridle and a boss for the front lock bolt, for example.
As with many sets of castings, there’s some fiddling around to be done. In this case I forged a new mainspring to improve speed and sparking, and had to make a few screws, modify the top jaw bolt, open up the frizzen spring, and so on. But I’m very happy with it overall. The holes were spotted perfectly and the tumbler was very true as cast.
