I own a NWTG made off a Pecatonia kit and it has a flat-faced “trade gun” lock made by L&R:
I really like this gun but unfortunately I’ve recently learned these guns should have round-faced locks to be period correct.
I’m disappointed for sure and am just curious how hard it would be to change to a proper round face lock? I wonder if L&R offers such a lock that would be more or less a drop in fit?
Has anyone ever seen or heard of an original NWTG with a flat faced lock?
Thank you all for the help in advance.
