Who rebuilds antique percussion locks?

[MikeEasy]

Briley Manufacturing (Briley's) in Houston, Texas can do this.

I've had a variety of replica percussion locks (CVA, Pedersoli, Navy Arms) examined, tuned and/or repaired. Nate is the fellow there who fixed me up.

Mark, I appreciate the suggestion but "one job I don't want" per Mr. Roller. I do think maybe Albert on the forum may take it on. We'll see.

 

Ron,
Good luck, I'll look forward to seeing the finished project. If you decide to go with a fowler, let me know, she's a nice one.

A big thank you to all who offered suggestions! :bow: I now have a person to do a repair/rebuild on the locks. :grin:

I rebuild old percussion shotguns as my hobby. Usually the existing parts can be repaired and reused, finding parts like a new Tumblr that will fit in your particular lock and work with the other parts can be almost impossible on something that was built in the 1800s. Track offers all the parts you need but mostly for modern manufactured guns. I buy a lot of screws main springs ramrod ends. This is the latest one I just finished, the barrel on the gun that I received was useless so this is a replacement barrel that I got to fit. I'll also include a picture of some of the guns I finished.
