I just acquired a Dixie Gun Works Southern Mountain Rifle. It is most likely from an early 1970s manufacture as it is a 2000s serial number. The frizzen screw is worn and I've not had luck in looking into where I might find one online. I know these Miruko (sp?) locks are hard to find, I know that Dixie does not carry parts for them. I also know that L&R has a replacement lock, but I'm not in position to buy one just yet so I hope to keep this lock working well for a few years. What I don't know is if there may be some place I should look to find it that you more experienced individuals know of?
The frizzen wobbles just a bit when up, it sits tight when down over the pan. Currently I put some Teflon tape in the gap and created a leather washer to stabilize it. This is merely a band aid that will let me put some rounds down range. The more I shoot the more it will wear on the screw and wobble worse.
I'd appreciate any advice you might have.
