Where did the kit come from?

Am told this is a late Lancaster style. Can anyone make a guess as to what company the kit came from?

What makes you think it started life as a kit?

Because I bought it from the guy who built it.

Other than the added peep sight, it looks like the Chambers York. But it has double set triggers which if I recall, is not available on the York. I am looking at both the York and the Early Lancaster (both sitting in my office). My Lancaster has DS triggers, but is a bigger, heavier rifle than the York. But I'm betting Chambers.

Can't you ask the guy who built it?

What are the markings on the lock internals? Who made the barrel? Who made the triggers?

Sent him a note a month ago, no reply - hasn't been seen here since the 14th. Siler lock, Davis triggers, Colerain bbl. 32 cal.

Thanks for the replies, believe I found it, late Lancaster from Pecatonica.

And in 32 caliber no less.
