Re: MtMan-List: Who makes the lock

[hawknest4@juno.com (michael pierce)]

YOU MIGHT NOT WANT MY HELP BUT HERE IS ABOUT ALL I CAN DO FOR YOU-----

it is not a hawkins flinter it is a plains style of rifle that they call
a hawkins---that is like a tompson center being a Hawkins rifle----I own
2 originals---one in percussion and one in flint and have 2 others that
are custom made to look like a hawkins---they are plains rifles---OR
REPRODUCTIONS

NOW TO YOUR QUESTION AT HAND ABOUT THE LOCK----to the best of my
knowledge there is not a exact duplicate replacement for the one you
have---its shape and size is a bit different than most of the ones out
there that are made---suggest you  call siler and order a catalog---they
have a plate that can be cut to fit your opening or you can use their
guts and make your own plate to fit in the hole you have---their internal
parts are of good quality  and can be assembeled using a drill press and
3 different drill bita and one tap----they have a plastic alignment tool
that comes with their kits for drilling---their instructions are real
clear and understandable---follow the directions and take your time and
dont horse the tap(YOU DO AND YOU WILL BREAK IT)---make sure you use the
size of drill that they recomend ---when i put their kits together i
usually build A dozen at a time and have made my own perminant drill
jigs---can put one together in anout 30 min---if you have never put one
together then it will take about 2 hrs if you take it slow and watch what
you are doing---their kit runs less than  $50.00.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR BEING SNIPPY ABOUT HAWKINS---THAT IS A PET PEVE OF
MINE ---A HAWKINS IS A HAWKINS AND ANYTHING ELSE IS A REPRODUCTION OR A
PLAINS RIFLE---MY ORIGINAL HAWKINS HAS MADE MEAT ALMOST EVER YEAR FOR THE
LAST 10 OR 12----YELLOW FEATHER CAN VERIFY THAT----JUST CAME FROM
ARKANSAS WHERE WE HUNTED TOGETHER---FOR MUZZLE LOADING SEASON---i KILLED
A BIG DOE-------BTW---i NORMALLY HUNT DURING RIFLE SEASON WITH THE SAME
RIFLE.
