I broke the half cock notch on the lock of my Early English Trade Gun from North Star West, but I see they are now out of business. Any recommendations for someone who could repair this lock? I built the gun from their kit, but I think this repair is beyond my capability.
 
Is it the tumbler or sear that is broken? Brad Emig does a good business fixing and tuning locks. Cabin Creek is the name of the business. Tuning a lock can run up to $200 so they say, depending on how much work is required.
 
The tumbler is broken. The part of the tumbler under the sear at half cock broke off. Completely my fault for leaving some interference when I inletted the lock.
