Lyman barrel and lock

[DEADDAWG]

Mike, do you know if the GPR percussion lock and the Trade Rifle lock are the same plate? If so, I've got one setting here. Let me know.

According to this parts site, the locks are the same. http://www.lymanproducts.com/store/page156.html

I believe $119.95 (the price on the above site) for any percussion lock is, as my dad always quaintly put it, "farting in the breeze", but I notice that Italian-made locks are expensive no matter what supplier you price them from.

BTW I believe on another thread Brokenhawk said he already had the barrel -- a lock is all he needs, now.

 Mongrel gotta wait till payday and will let you know. My buddy just sold me a 50 cal lyman plains barrel for $75.00. Getting closer

 My buddy just sold me a lyman 50 cal great plains barrel for $75.00.  1 down 1 to go. I think I'll have Mongrel work on it for me. It sure looks like he does dang good work on that stuff. I fixed,refitted and refinished a cva 50 cal pistol last year but that was easy. Let the pro's do the big stuff. Whoops sorry about the double post.

Brokenhawk, did you get my PM?

Gotem both, was looking at it and they both fit. Have to file one little spot on the lock. Could this have already been a percussion stock that someone converted to flint? Sorry about the crappy photo.

Heres a better pic of the lock area.

Lymans locks use the same internals, flint or cap. If you ever convert over to L&R locks you will need to hog out some material, but both L&R locks will fit the modification. Factory locks won't fit right any more.

I tend to think either Lyman has changed the profile of their lockplates, slightly, or that they simply don't want people performing conversions of their guns for reasons of both liability and it being more profitable to them to have you send your rifle in and let them do the work.

Good deal on getting things to work! Just make sure the pan of that flintlock mates up solidly, with zero gap, to the side barrel flat. No reason it wouldn't, just throwing out the advice -- priming powder getting inside your lock inlet will lead to some fireworks that you won't like.
