Parts haul from the flea market

tom in nc · Sep 19, 2024

I bought this lot of parts at the flea market today. The pair of locks shown will complete the double barreled shotgun I have.

Included are some complete locks, some missing springs, and a bunch of parts.
Also included are several flints. Will be posting more pics as I sort thru it

That's a good haul! I'm always on the lookout for good back action locks.

Wow! Our flea markets only have used clothes and Chinese junk

Yeah, buying a box of assorted parts, I was surprised to find as many back action locks, eight singles and three pairs, including the ones for my shotgun, and eight other locks, or parts thereof.

I was just going to say that, mostly baby clothes and plastic junk from China.

I've had pretty good luck at this flea market. In the past I found a deal in a T/C Hawken in ,45 caliber, an old original .40 caliber (I think) rifle (probably a wallhanger, don't know yet), and a 12 ga double muzzleloader. I paid $15 each for the .40 and the shotgun. Also bought an unopened .45 caliber halfstock percussion rifle kit for $60 (I think). Plus several air guns over the years.
The $15 dollar double barrel will get two of the locks I got today.

Very cool! I need a pair of back action locks for an old Belgian double, plus a pair of hammers for another backpacking combo gun. (One hammer spur is broke but I forget which - think it's right side.)
Also need an 1863 Springfield musket percussion hammer and barrel bands, trigger plate and buttplate.
Once you sort stuff out, pm me if you are selling or trading anything like that.
