Pulseriflefan Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2011 #23 sorry for the lil delay - I was on holiday in Turkey. inlay for the counter-lockplate: Zamac lock plate with working hammer: inlay for lock-plate: mounted lock plate: Still have to do the frizzen spring. You can see the function of the lock here : Sparrow flintlock replica - lock mechanism‏ - YouTube BTW: the biggest movie prop I've ever seen is coming to town today : NOT the Black Pearl but the BOUNTY ! If anyone needs some images for scale modeling PLMK
