Hit the jack pot!
« on: January 09, 2007, 07:46:37 AM »
Went to a farm auction last Saturday.  I bought some boxes of "stuff" mostly because there were some old muzzle blast magazines in them.    Last night I got around to sorting through the boxes.  Wow!  Five apparently new flint locks and two new percussion locks., several butt plates, ram rod thimbles, sights, a few machined breech plugs, and four sets of set triggers.  (No trigger guards at all though wonder what box they were in).    The locks appear to be pretty good quality, wax cast parts and hard blue springs.  fly in each tumbler.   There are two different size perc locks and they correspond with the two different size flint locks.    This stuff was scatterred in four boxes of old magazines and books about black powder and muzzleloading.  There's a couple of items I haven't figured out yet.
