Unknown (to me) parts

tom in nc · Sep 19, 2024

Earlier today I bought a box of gun parts. These were included and I don't know what they are. There were muzzleloader parts and some breechloader parts mixed together, and I tried to call out the unmentionables, leaving ones I was unsure about. So, these may not be m.l. parts. Can anyone identify them? Thanks.

More unknown to me parts, maybe not m.l.
Can anyone identify anything in the pic(s)? Thanks.

The two oval shapes in the center of the top pic are top jaws of a flintlock hammer, one is complete with hole drilled, the other unfinished. Nothing else in that picture seems muzzleloader related. The second picture has a couple of firing pins and several barrel band springs for unmentionable military rifles; again nothing muzzle loader related. Just my .02, YMMV.

Thanks, I should have recognized them. They have been moved to my zip-lock bag with flintlock parts.

The spring and rod in picture 2 looks like it is a mainspring from a T/C lock. Right below the spring is a firing pin and extractor from a modern rifle.

Isn’t that round thing on the right, in the first pic, an internal piece for a lock? You have to excuse the fact that I can’t call it by name.

Thanks to you. I have two or three T/C guns and will pull the lock from one and check it out.

The object in the first photo with the vertical slot is the ram from a cap & ball revolver loading lever. In the second photo you have some barrel band springs (top one is broken) for military muskets and not necessarily for unmentionable guns.

Could be I suppose. None of the pile of locks I got today, or any lock that I have seen before have a piece exactly like it. But I have not seen the inside/backside of as many locks as some on here I'm sure.
