Here is a build I just completed. It has a left hand mule ear that was built by an unknown person. I found the lock and it came to me from Texas. It has a quarter cock, half cock and full cock and is as well built as you could ask for. The stock profile is supposed to be somewhat close to a Verner. The barrel is a .45 caliber 13/16" Colerain @ 37" long. It has a single trigger that I modified from a Brown Bess trigger and the sear moves to the rear requiring that I pin it high in the panel. I did build a custom trigger wear plate from brass. The wood is Grade #4 from Pecatonica and was finished with three coats of TOW Original Oil, two coats of Chambers Finish and one application of Bri Wax.

Thanks everyone.

Bigfoot, I wish I had more of the left hand locks, but that is the only one I have ever heard of or seen. Looks like it is going to a new home this Friday.
